Men’s Open Success In Wet Weather

May 20, 2022 by Short Putt

The annual Men’s Open events saw 81 players in the 4BBB Stableford on Saturday, while the main 18-hole stroke open on Sunday had a good field of 116 players.

The Sunday Open produced very competitive scores despite the wet conditions. The A-Grade Scratch was won by Kurt Cusack (Wellington) with 72, while the A-Grade Handicap was won by Mike Wood Jnr (Dubbo) with 70 nett. 

The B-Grade winners were: scratch – Anthony Alley (86) and handicap – Mike Gaffney (Griffith) with 74 nett on count back.

The C-grade winners were: scratch – Keith McCullock (Riverside) on 100 and handicap – Josh Wood (Dubbo) with 77nett on count back.

The veterans handicap winner was Peter Bristol (Parkes) with 71 nett, the junior handicap winner was Lachlan Alley (Forbes) on 85 nett, and the visitor winner was Stuart Hayes (Murrumbidgee) with 73 nett on count back. The ball sweep went to 77 nett.

Players braved wet conditions from above and underfoot on Saturday for the 4BBB Stableford. The scratch winners were J Betland & P Dawson (Forbes) with 40 pts, on count back from runners-up S Betland & J Bernardi (Forbes). The handicap winners were Jock Coupland & Tom Stuckey (Condo) with 46 pts. The handicap runners-up were Jack Dobell and Dave Tildsley (Forbes) on 45 pts. 

The ball sweep went to 40 pts. The NTPs went to: 9th – Brett Thomas; 18th – Dave Mylecharane. The 3rd hole SuperPin went to Nicole Death.

This weekend we have an 18-hole stroke, sponsored by B&C Autos, with the West Wyalong Open on Sunday, and a Stableford Medley at home.
