  • MENS GOLF FOR THE W/E 29 OCT 2023

    With the club championships now completed, we are now into the match play rounds, with the semi finals being played on Sunday and the finals will be played on the 12th of November, more about that a little later.

    On Tuesday we had a field of 22 playing in a stableford competition, with the top 3 place getters beating their handicaps. In first place was Aaron Roberts with 41 points with David McKenzie in second place with 40 points and Brad Grant finished third with 37 points. I’m sure that Dave McKenzie was counting his winnings with that great score only to be beaten by Aaron with a score that is 5 better than his handicap.

    On Thursday, which is by far our largest competition day 67 players turned out for the weekly stableford competition. With this large number of players there were 2 divisions with some close results in B grade in particular.

    A Grade

    1st: Maurie Walsh 38 points (h/c 10)

    2nd: Geoff Brown 37 points (h/c 9)

    3rd: Kyle Bridgeman 34 points (h/c -1) on a count back

    B Grade

    1st: Nick Siperki 38 points (h/c 19)

    2nd: Alan Parrott 37 points (h/c 15) on a count back

    3rd: Bob Speed 37 points (h/c 26)

    Well done to Maurie who finally greets the judge in first place after a number of weeks being in the place getters and also to Nick for winning B Grade, it’s been a while since we have seen his name at the top of the sheet.

    On Saturday we had a field of 28 playing in another stableford competition. The winner on the day was club stalwart Bill Parsons who had a score of 39 points winning from Ian Jones who looks like he might have shaken off his blues of the last few weeks with 38 points and in third place was Jonathon Gilford on a score of 36 points beating Ben Millott on a count back.

    On Sunday the semi finals of the Match Play Championships were played, with some interesting results.
