Foursomes Championships

Conditions were great for golf but foursomes golf for all on Sunday as Ken Wray and Tony Clewett blew away the competition to win the nett for both rounds played on the day. Consistency is the key for this event with experience winning out for these two as they carded back to back rounds of 67.5 and 69.5. This left them with a total of 137 to win the overall nett prize as well. Unlucky to be beaten were another solid pairing of Marty Weise and Chris Webb (72.5 and 69.5) as they finished in 3rd for round 1 to Chris Elliott and Phil Elliott (69.5) and then  2nd for round 2 ahead of Anthony Cooper and Bryan Norris (71).

Gross winner for the day were Trent Cooper and Shane Cooper with a combined total of 174 for their two rounds to edge out Chris and Phil Elliott one shot behind and Tony Clewett and Ken Wray one further back. Only one nearest the pin was won for Ken Wray on the 7th with the Goulburn Produce and Mitre 10, Workers Club and Goulburn Soldiers Club opportunities going begging for the day.  Thanks to all of the players for their support for the day and to C Norris D Schmitt and J Leary for looking after the lunches.

Sunday Competition

Tony Clewett was smart enough to pick the ‘new guy’ as his partner on Sunday as he and Jeremy Harrison, playing his first round of comp, won on countback in the 4BBB stableford event after finishing with 43 points. Unlucky for their back nine result were Anthony Cooper and Bryan Norris also on 43. Marty Weise proved it was no fluke earlier this year when he won nearest the pin on the Workers Club 8th hole by repeating the result on the 7th in the windy conditions. Russell Lieschke won the drive and pitch on Kev’s Quality Meats 12th hole.
