Archy Arch wins A Grade

The February 15 competition was a par round sponsored by Griffin Plumbing, with 95 players tackling windy conditions.

Shooting the best score of the day was C Grade (17.0 – 45.0) player John Sandery (23).

In trying conditions Sandery was able to sign for a fine score of +4, which is his second win over the past few weeks.

Charlie Finch (19) took out second spot in C Grade as the only other player to play to or better than their handicap finishing square.

A Grade (-9.0 – 10.0) was taken out by Archy Arch (10 – pictured above) with +3, followed by Moryn Sullivan (9) with +2, who edge out David Lightbody (3) of the Blackwood Golf Club who also finished on +2, thanks to a countback going his way.

Brenton Massey (2) from the SA Police Golf Club finished at +1.

B Grader (11.0 – 16.0) had the closest results for the day, with four players completing their rounds with +3.

The countback had Neil Quirk (15) take the win, with John Shirley (11) coming second from Tony Revill (13) and Darren Earl (14).

Another group of four players finished on +1 including Tim MacLean (11), Neal Doody (13), Peppi Pace (13) and Damian Smith (13).

Golfers needed to have scored -24 or better on a countback to collect one of the 27 balls handed out.

For the first time that I can remember, one golfer took out both nearest to the pins for the round.

Peter Waters (12) had his irons working well which was matched by his putting as he walked off both greens after scoring birdies.FEBRUARY 13 RESULTS

The hot Wednesday weather might have scared a few members off, as a smaller field than usual of 84 contested the Thursday stableford competition.

After the rounds were done, a congested leaderboard had Paul Kenny (10) take the win thanks to a countback from Roger Gulin (30) with both players finishing on 38 points.

It was Kenny’s superior back nine of 20 points which had him take the win.

Only one point back eight players ended on 37 points.

Winner of five balls was David Cameron (30), from Michael Griffiths (14) with four balls, Michael Morton (9) three balls and Graham Thomas (19) with twoballs.

Damian Smith (11), Peter Fox (9), Mark Teakle (33) and Peppi Pace (12) all were the unlucky ones to only collect a single ball each.

The remaining players required 35 points or better on a countback to earn one of the remaining six balls.

Pro Shot winners were Tim MacLean (10) on the eighth and Don Coulter (22) on the sixteenth, each picking up five balls.
