It was a great day for golf with the Lithgow Golf Club holding a versus par event with the A grade winner Justin McCann (+1) enjoying a brilliant front nine that boasted five birdies. He added a further two on the back nine holes to post a winning score of +4 which is an amazing score by the reigning club champion considering his low handicap. Runner up was another reigning champion in Steve Mays(9) who won the B grade title last year and has since moved into A grade with his consistent good play each week. Mays was on fire over the front nine with +4 but cooled off on the back nine to finish with a score of +3.
Like Mays it was a tale of two nines for the B grade winner Paul Stewart (15) who went out in -2. He got his game together to come home with a score of +3 for an overall score of +1. Stewart counted out Kyle Eagan (10) with his good back nine with both golfers finishing with +1.
C grade went to a newcomer to competition golf with Anthony Brown (25) winning with a score of +3. Brown is a keen sportsman and has dabbled in cricket, Rugby League and rugby in his younger days and is now keen to try his skills at golf. Runner up was another excellent Lithgow sporting all rounder in Heidi Inwood (26) who is enjoying success at golf and finished her round with a score of even.
