Ross Harrington (7) and Paul Bailey (16) thoroughly deserved their win in the Lithgow Golf Club’s two ball best ball event. The pair were in the first group to tee off and they were greeted with sub zero temperatures which were made worse with a strong breeze and very slick greens making conditions very uncomfortable. It did not worry the winners who posted a winning score of 47 points and the pair combined exceedingly well with one stepping up when the other was struggling. Bailey was in good form with a personal score of 37 while Harrington was also strong with 35 points.
Runners up were two golfers from C grade with young Ben Achurch (27) and Jim Heterick (23) taking the voucher after a countback on 44 points. Achurch who has a bright future was exceptional with a score of 39 points with his partner Heterick finishing on 28 points.
