Lithgow golfers are wondering just when the sun will shine again after another week of rain and low temperatures that cut the fields down. The course is struggling with the continuous rains which saw the course closed last Saturday. It was thought that it would be again closed last weekend for the postponed July monthly medals event but once again the medals were put off but the small field that took on the terrible conditions did play a stroke event.
The winner with a magnificent 72 nett score was “Mr Consistency” Darren Hunter (2) who with all his experience to show why he is one of the club’s best ever golfers. In terrible conditions Hunter registered 10 pars straight before he had his first bogey and then added another to finish with a 74 off the stick. Hunter’s 72 nett was two better than his nearest rivals.
Runner up was Lachlan Roach (12) who counted out third placed Josh Jones (15) with both golfers carding 74 netts. They had similar rounds setting up theirs scores with very good front nines.
Vouchers went to Dave Thompson, Riley Cameron, Damien Marjoram, Jai Osborne, Mitch Luka and Alan Mostyn. Cut was 77 nett ocb.
Nearest to the pins were: 2nd Damien Marjoram (164cms); 9th and 13th Max McCann (460cms) and (449cms) and 18th Troy Luka (398cms).
