What a great change to see the sun shining all day. With a drying course and near perfect conditions for golf, we all expected to play like champs and it was Wendy- Anne Parker who showed the men a thing or two and took out Best Score of the Day with 37 points. For full results click here:
Tyler Marotti continued his excellent form with a very nice 39 points. Tyler also won the Trainee Pro event at Woodlands on Monday with a fine 1 under par 71 to win by four shots.
A couple of gentlemen in hot form won B and C grade respectively – Ian Barlow (37 points) and Jim Arnott (38 points)
As we near the beginning of Spring, the scores are rising and the Women are starting to bloom in the BJS Insurance Top Gun event. Lianne Adamson is showing a lot of the Men what a good qualifying score looks like.
Still earlier in the qualifying period however, I urge all members to consider entering this Competition sooner rather than later, as a number of fabulous scores have gone to waste as the players had not signed up for the Top Gun before having that sweet round.
Current Top 19 qualifiers as of the 26th August 2017 are:
| 1 | Leaver | Chris | 39 |
| 2 | Baker | Ian | 38 |
| 3 | Adamson | Lianne | 37 |
| 4 | Cathie | Bruce | 37 |
| 5 | Smith | Andrew | 37 |
| 6 | Smith | Jon | 37 |
| 7 | Roberts | Antony | 36 |

Although the day was wet and windy at times, a good field enjoyed getting out there and belting the ball around. None did it better than Jim Arnott who must love this time of year, with another Best Score of the Day of 36 points.
Despite a little chill and rain, 22 Teams played out the event with the winning team of Jim Arnott and Andrew Smith scoring 72 points.

With a cold wet start to the BJS Insurance Top Gun Event this year, you may think that scores could be ordinary, but the opposite is the case for the leaders who have been handling the conditions well, and producing some amazing golf.
Still early days but I encourage you to jump on board now, register at the front desk and pay the $10.00 entrance fee and make sure that next extra ordinary round qualifies you for the final.
