Count Back Win

March 6, 2020 by Maggi Barnard

Chris Pay of Cowra tees off ahead of opponent Garry King of Wentworth in the Pennants.

The Ian Simpson Real Estate sponsored Men’s competition on Saturday was an Individual Stroke. A field of 60 players scored well with a count back needed to decide the Division 1 winner.

The Division 1 was won by Peter Barnes over Andrew Brownlow of Peak Hill after both had finished on nett 67. The Division 2 had Ross Williams, with nett 73, a clear winner ahead of Craig Barrett with a nett 74.

The ball sweep went to 75 nett on count back: 70 – E Gaffney, J Coulthurst, P Daw- son; 72 – B Parker, K Herbert; 73 – W Clay- ton, GWebb, JHaley; 74 – PDuke; 75–S Uphill, J Zannes, P Nixon, T Griffiths, B Everest.

The Sunday Stableford Medley had a small field. Bess Shields won with 34 points. There was no runner-up or ball sweep, and nobody hit the greens so no NTP’s either.

The Club’s Pennants teams played the fifth round at Wellington on Sunday. John Betland had the biggest win of 7/6 over Aaron Wilkie from Parkes. Bob Borger battled to the 20th hole for his win.

The Summer Super 6’s comp is now into its final week, with very little separating the top seven teams in each Pool, from which five teams from each Pool will advance to the Finals. The Grand Final will be held on Sunday, 5th April, with the Presentation to follow that evening, upstairs in the Golf Club.

Mark your calendars for the Sanderson Memorial Day on 28th March, and a 3-Person Ambrose on 19th April. Contact the Pro Shop for details.

Saturday, 7th March is the Monthly Medal, sponsored by Michael Robinson & Co. Sunday, 8th March has the Stableford Medley with the Pennants for Division 1 and 3, continuing at Wentworth.

Farewell to Tommy Punnett, the Touring Pro who has been helping at the Pro Shop during the Summer. Tommy was often seen fine tuning his putting or honing his chipping skills. We thank him for his company and wish him well on the Australian circuit.

The Summer Super 6’s competition will finish the last two weeks with handicaps frozen, which may affect the final placings on the Pool tables.

Golfers Score In The Rain

February 14, 2020 by Maggi Barnard

Ron Morris teeing off and hoping to beat the rain.

The Men’s competition on Saturday, an Individual 18-hole Stableford event sponsored by Troy Howe Electrical, was a wet affair for the 68 players. However, many of them did manage to score well.

The Division 1 winner was Simon Flynn (Mudgee) with 38 points, helped by the count back which saw Anthony Alley finish as Runner-up. Simon was steady throughout, while Anthony stormed home with 22 points on the back 9.

The Division 2 recorded the best score, going to the winner Matt Duff on 40 points. He is expecting a cut in his handicap. Runner-up was Jack Dobell with 37 points, getting there on count back from John Ridley.

It was wet out there. The early golfers had the better of the conditions but the rain and a brief clap of thunder with a short zap of lightning scurried a few golfers to refuge. Some players lost their grip on the club which saw some clubs flying down the fairway or in the trees.

There was no Sunday Stableford Medley as the Club hosted the CWDGA Pennants. In all 60 Pennants golfers teed off in cloudy conditions, which soon turned to a few showers then steady drizzle. Winning teams were; Division 1 Bathurst, Division

2 Duntryleague and Wellington, Division 3 Cowra and Wellington, Division 4 Cowra.
