The big news that came out of Saturday’s stableford event came out of B grade with both placegetters carding 37 points but for one of them it was his first hole in one. Brett Egan (10) who usually works weekends started his holidays with a win after counting out Matt Dickson (10). Egan had a massive back nine of 22 points which was a two over par 38 strokes to capture first place in B grade.
Dickson was unlucky to be counted out but still came off the course with a huge grin due to registering his first ever hole in one on the par three thirteen hole. Brian Judge (4) who is always up around the best scores took the A grade win with a score of 36 points. He was the model of consistency with two nines of 18 points.
Club captain Chris Keller (7) survived a countback from Steven Hall (scratch) to take the runner up voucher after C grade saw the club’s ‘elder statesman’ Ken Durie (28) equalling the best stableford score of the day with 37 points after both finished with 35 points.
Runner up on 34 points was Peter Dykes (22) after registering two nines of 17 points.
Vouchers went to Steve Hall, Ken Mitchell, Bill Oldfield, Damien Marjoram, Andrew Burton, Rod Clarke, Dave Hicks, Harry Bender, Ryan Gurney, Dave Thompson, John Bird, Brad Preston and Dean Webb. Cut was 33 points ocb.
Nearest to the pins (but in Matt Dickson’s case in the hole) on the 13th hole. Others were: 2nd Rob Hawes (172cms); 4th Rod Bright (340cms); 9th Matt Dickson (215cms) and 18th Neil Hutchinson (15cms) and he did say he got the putt for his birdie.
