Inaugural Short Course Champion – Caleb Hanrahan.
On Saturday 25 July, 79 Forbes and visiting golfers had a different perspective on how to play some holes when the inaugural Short Course event was played.
The clubbing changed from their normal approach and the greens were quite slick, leading some interesting results.
The Winner of the Inaugural Short Course Championship was Caleb Hanrahan with 71 Scratch. Runner-up was Cam McMillan with 72 Scratch.
In the Handicap format the Div-1 Winner Alf Davies with 73 nett. He needed to warm up on the front-9 before putting a very good back-9 together. Runner-up was Scott Kirkman who missed out on count back. He had a better scratch score but had fewer handicap shots to play with.
The Div-2 Winner was Glenn Kitson with 71 nett. He played a steady game but did not make best use of the shorter holes.
Runner-up was Mat Duff with 73 nett. He also played steadily and did make good use of the shorter holes.
The ball sweep went to 78 nett on count back. NTPs went to: 9th Peter Dawson, 18th Wayne O’Niell with only Pete converting for 2’s. The Super Pin went to Brad Ashton (180 cm) who also converted for his ‘2’.
The comp on Saturday 1 August is the Monthly Medal sponsored by Bernardis Marketplace. There will be the usual Stableford Medley on Sunday but of better interest is the Trundle Open.
