BJS Insurance Top Gun Update No.1

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.

TopGun Update as of 13/8/2017.

Tuesday Stableford- 8 August 2017

SuperLeague Semi Final Results.

What a thrilling end to the week of SuperLeague. Jim Arnott had anchored his Team, Pars, with a fine 35 points and solid rounds in the conditions by Neil (Macca) Mackenzie  &  Peter Hobson each with 31, looked to have the Pars set for a win, with 97 points.

Clearly however, the Player of the Week was Peter Walsh with a very good 37 points, and together with Brian Fennessy’s last gasp 29 points on Thursday helped their Team, Fairways to level with Pars, on 97 points.

The SuperLeaque rules call for countback of the best three cards in these semi final circumstances, and in this case, Fairways get the nod 49 to 46 on the total of the back nine count back scores.

In the other Semi Final, Bunkers (104) look to have a very solid team with Jon Smith (36), Hans Hoefler (34) and that deciduous Kev Castwood pruning back another 34, taking the win over OOB’s (102) led by Antony Roberts strong 36, supported by Doug Clemann (33) and Frank Gill’s last effort on Saturday with 33 (bad luck about the 7 on the 9th, partner).
