After a freezing Friday the sun shone again for the Lithgow Golf Club’s two ball stroke aggregate event attracting a good field minus the usual dozen or so women golfers who have been enjoying a week of golf on the Murray River golf courses.
The winners were the team of Leo Murnane (20) and Graham Dean (10) with a score of 141. The star of the team was Murnane who finally worked out after many years that hitting off later in the warmer temperatures is a real bonus and he took advantage of this to register a personal score of 68 nett. The pair had a strong back nine enabling them to count out runners up Jai Osborne (14) and Pat Wall (10) who also finished with 141 nett. Osborne had a brilliant front nine shooting a par round and finished with the best single score of the day with a 62 nett.
A singles event was held in conjunction with Warren Kennedy (29) taking out the winning voucher with a score of 68 nett.
Runner up was Jai’s grandfather Graeme Osborne (18) with a score of 70 nett on a countback.
Those to win vouchers were Rob Hawes, Chris Keller, Corey Osborne, Andrew Burton, Michael Bennett, Don Wolfenden, Mitchell Wallace, Les Goldspink, Ian Downey, Dave Titcume, Jo Banning, Matt Dickson, Tom Fraser and Riley Gillespie. Cut was 150 nett on a countback.
