Sunday Par
Young Trent Cooper has done it once too often in recent weeks at Tully Park Golf Club. Having won almost as many competitions as our Godfather of Golf, Don Grimston, Trent has caught the eye of the Tully Park Handicapper with is latest effort in Sundays Pare event. Trent carded +9 to claim the trophy, 4 points ahead of Gary Spence on +5. Josh Cooper was next with +2, followed by the complete athlete, captain Scott Nolan, Shane Cooper and Eddie Hawkins on +1. At the other end of the scale, Rampaging Roy McNair scored -9 to collect a special ball. The Godfather of Golf maintained his awesome streak of trophies, winning the $20 voucher to Kevs Meats or Farmer Felds, while Adam Boxsell won the drive and pitch on the 16th and Greg Hosking took out the nearest to the pin on the 7th.
Next weeks comp at Tully Park is a 3 person Irish stableford event. Phone the pro shop or organise your own team. Keep the October long weekend available as the Tully Park Lilac Time Open is scheduled for Sunday October 6th, along with a 2 person ambrose on Saturday the 5th. A Prawn Chicken and Trivia night is also being organised by the entertainment subcommittee for the Saturday night. Tables of 8, don’t book late!
Coops Scoops Dinner for Two
A stableford competition was played on Saturday at Tully Park Golf Club, with competitors playing for the valued Dinner For Two at the Black Sheep Irish Pub. As usual, competition was fierce, and the margins skinny. In the end Anthony Cooper won out with 40 points, edging out Steve Langby who carded 39 points. Next was last weeks winner, Trent Cooper with 38 points followed by Col Eggins (37) and Shane Cooper and Reg Gooch (36). The Saturday comps, sponsored by the Black Sheep Irish Pub, have been growing in popularity week by week. With warmer weather upon us, Dinner for Two could be the best game in town.
Goulburn Soldiers Club Midweek Competition
This weeks Goulburn Soldiers Club Midweek Competition at Tully Park Golf Club provided a mixed bag of results. On the one hand, Don Grimston had his worst round in a month or more, while Kevin “Splinter” Peterson had his best round in over a year. Splinter was showing off in front of a bunch of lady golfers as he cruised to a 7 point victory carding 32 points for his 12 hole round. That has to come close to shooting under his age. The aforementioned ladies were left in Kevins wake, with Judy Moran and Joy Leary (25 points) and Di Schmitt and Rose Booth (22 points) fighting for the ball rundown. Of course, Don Grimston can always sniff out a prize. He edged out Helen Carne for the special ball with a special 11 points.

Sunday Stableford for Fathers Day
Don is at it again. The rumour spread around Tully Park Golf Club in just a few minutes. Having won last weeks Monthly Medal and Midweek Comp, Don Grimston was again tearing up the course. Dons 38 points was (only just) too good for the rest of the field and it was only his playing partners who were providing any opposition. In the same group as Don, Ken Wray and Darrell Spence also scored 38 points, but were relegated to second and third by the Golf Australia countback system. Charlie McDonald was next with 37 points along with Ben Elliott (37), while Scott Nolan beat Roy McNair for the last ball in a countback. It was particularly pleasing to see a couple of family groups on the course, with the Gegg Family providing a four and the Elliotts a three.
Ken Wray won the Progressive Competition with 61 points, while Scott Nolan and Roy McNair won the nearest to the pins on the 13th and 5th holes. Next weeks competition is a Par event with a trophy donated by Ray Turner.
Golfers are reminded of the upcoming Lilac Time Festival of Golf, including a Two Person Ambrose followed by a Trivia/Prawn/Chicken Night on Saturday October 5th, and the Tully Park Lilac Time Open on Sunday October 6th. Enquire at the clubhouse (02 4822 2828) for details and entry forms.
Fathers Day at the Black Sheep Irish Pub
Junior golfers take note. This could be the best Fathers Day present (and at a stretch, Mothers Day) possible. “Dad, I’m shouting you dinner at the Black Sheep Irish Pub”. Young Trent Cooper did exactly that, winning the Saturday Competition and claiming the Dinner For Two Voucher to the famous eatery. Trents 65 nett was too good for a gutted Adam Boxsell, who had presumed that his 66 would get him across the line. Bad luck Box!. Brian Norris (67), Norm Aubrey (68), and Russell Schmitt (71) were hopefull of dinner, but fell short of the mark. Steve Langby and Josh Cooper (72) rounded out the ball rundown. Trents dad, Shane, scored nett 80 which earned him last place. His “other talents” earned him Dinner For Two at the Black Sheep Irish Pub. Happy Fathers Day Shane!
Goulburn Soldiers Club Midweek Comp
Don Grimston continued his run of good form this week as he claimed the vouchers in the Goulburn Soldiers Club Midweek Competition at Tully Park Golf Club. Having won last Sundays Monthly Medal, Dons score of 29 points was too good for the field in the 12 hole comp. Don narrowly defeated Russell Schmitt who alos had a great round of 28 points. Having played a second round during the week, Don also claimed third place with 27 points. Joy Leary (26 points), Di Schmitt (25) and Eddie Hawkins (25) rounded out the ball rundown. Paul Hunter scored 12 points and emphatically claimed the special ball.
