Timmy Duke in swing – where did that go?
The Men’s golf competition on Saturday was the Monthly Medal, sponsored by Forbes Concrete. The field of 69 relished the warm and sunny conditions, leading to low scores.
In the A-Grade Terry Griffiths did a repeat to both win a medal and have the same score as last month. His 68 nett was achieved with a new putter. Runner-up was Peter Dawson who was chasing Terry fast but his 69 nett was one shot adrift.
B-Grade was won by Peter Barnes with his 68 nett. His changes to his swing style, required after a lingering injury, seems to be working well. A little way adrift was Paul Pymont with a classic 72 nett. No dramas, just good steady golf.
C-Grade Medal was won by Archie Quirk, another repeat performance. He finished on 70 nett on c/b, and while he was Runner-up for the vouchers the winner was not eligible for the Medal. The unfortunate winner of the voucher was Adrian Cole who did the best in the field to score a nett 67.
The NTP’s were: 9th Steve Betland; 18th Steve Grallelis. The Pro Shop Super pin went to Todd Callaghan, finishing a comfortable 277cm away. The ball sweep to 74 nett on count back.
This weekend is the Labour Day Weekend, which brings some fun in the form of a ‘Canadian Foursomes’ event on Saturday.
Stableford Medleys are available on both Sunday and Monday.
A reminder that the Club Championships start on Sat Oct 12, with four rounds to be played on Sat and Sunday across two weekends. There are Daily comp prizes.
