IMAGE: Kailab Tyne used his in-form putting to claim the ‘Medal of Medallist’ trophy. His 69 nett was the second best score of the day, and one shot clear of two other ‘MoM’ contenders.
The Forbes golfers found the conditions hot but matched it with hot putting to bring success in the weekend golf.
Saturday had an Individual Stroke event, sponsored by Loomzy’s Fish n Fix, which also served to crown the ‘Medal of Medallist’ for the year. More than 20 of the winning Medallists were in the field of 58, aiming to gain both Daily comp and
Medallist accolades.
For the Daily Comp, Div 1 was won by Doug Churchill with 66 nett. His putting left scorch marks on the greens. Runner-up was Niel Duncan with 70 nett, and who just missed out on the ‘MoM’ trophy.
The Div-2 was won by Kailab Tyne, bring his second prize for the day. He also had great success with the putter. Runner-up was Fons Melisi, 70 nett, who also just missed the ‘MoM’.
The ball sweep went to 76 nett on count back. The NTP’s went to: 9 th – Caleb
Hanrahan; 18th – Mick Livingston.
The 3rd Hole Superpin went to Mark Watts. On a gusty wind-affected day he was pleased to find the green, let alone get to 2.46 metres. It was good enough though.
There were too few to run a Sunday Stableford Medley comp. But a Junior who did play was pleased to have beaten his Dad, even if it was only on one hole.
This weekend will be a 4BBB on Saturday and the Forbes Nissan Classic on Sunday.
