Liam Fraser retrieving his ball with support from his group – Jenny Fletcher, Debbie Tilly and Veronica Rebellato.
The Forbes golfers enjoyed good conditions for the final rounds of the Forbes Mens Individual Championships, sponsored by Lachlan Commodities.
After three rounds there were clear leaders in three of the grades of the Scratch champs, with the B-Grade a tight contest between Brett Thomas and Peter Barnes when only two shots separated them.
At the end of the final round the Scratch Champions were: A-Grade: J Betland; A- Reserve: J Brett; B-Grade: B Thomas and C-Grade: L Alley. In the Handicap, a countback was needed to decide the winner in the A-Grade, with J Betland getting the nod ahead of D Bayley. In the other grades, B-Grade went to B Thomas and C-Grade to Liam Fraser, who was helped by a hole-in-one on the 9th .
The Results for the Daily comp run in conjunction with the Championships, sponsored by Pool Magic, are:
Saturday : Div 1: J Dobell (70 nett) from J Betland (71 on c/b); Div 2: P Barnes (68), T Morgan (70); Div 3: L Fraser (73), L Alley (74 on c/b). The ball sweep went to 76 nett on c/b. The NTP’s were: 9th T Toohey; 18th J Brett.
Sunday: Div 1: P Cowhan (71), T West (72); Div 2: F Melisi (71), B Thomas (74); Div 3: L Fraser (71), L Alley (72 on c/b). The ball sweep went to 76 nett on c/b. The NTP’s were: 9th – L Fraser, 18th – S Grant.
The Superpin on both days had different stories. On Saturday Tim West grabbed the money with a shot to 1.3 metres, while Sunday’s success went to Sally Crosby with a shot to 7.4 metres.
Congratulations to all winners and especially to Liam Fraser with his hole-in-one.
