The final of the A.E. Edney 4BBB event was held at Leongatha Golf Course on Sunday 7th of May. The Par event was held in cold and blusterly conditions and proved to be a challenge for both teams, with the eventual winners, Rob Martin and John Moor, claiming victory over Phillipe du Plessis and Frank Gill on the 16th hole, finishing 3/2 up.

The Chas Hyland Cup final was played on Friday 5th May. The Hyland Cup is an annual Men’s knockout Matchplay event played in memory of Chas Hyland. This year’s event commenced in February with 54 entrants and culminated in a play off between Jon R Smith (14) and Malcolm Legge (18). Malcolm was going into the Final in good form, having taken out the Monthly Medal recently. The Hyland Cup is one event at LGC which Jon hasn’t been able to win over the years despite having been in the final many times, and he was hoping to rectify that on Friday. Alas it wasn’t to be.
Jon later told me how the match went, and said, “It was all over on the 13th, I didn’t play badly but Malcolm was on song, he had 8 one putts and 1 no putts.”

With mother nature dishing out some wet and challenging conditions this last weekend, 71 off the stick by Jason Dennerley and Leroy Sharrock on the first round, would be hard to match.
Best scratch round on the second week was a 73 by Barry Attwood and Russell Williams but with a first round of 76 their combined two round total of 149 was well earned but the title shaky.
Finally, with all cards in, and with a very good score again of 74, the winners of the W McCaughan 4BBB Scratch event for 2017, are Jason Dennerley & Leroy Sharrock with a two round total of 145, over Barry Attwood & Russell Williams with 149, and Trevor Rickard & Steve Fisher on 160.
