In A Grade, as predicted, Brent Lange finished up Champion with a four round total of 278.
Brent did not have it all his own way with John Blackman throwing out the challenge, especially on Sunday when he was six under the card after 12 holes, but dropped three shots over the last six holes to finished at three under card and a four round total of 283.
The A Grade nett win went to Dean Cartwright with a nett total of 273 from runner-up David Harris on 276.
Dean’s effort was an excellent result, especially considering he plays of a handicap of 1 compared to David Harris’s handicap of 10.
In B Grade Des Rowe came to the fore over the last two rounds to round up Neville Potter finishing with a four round total of 337.
Runner-up was Matt Moon on 348. Des played with both Neville and Matt on Sunday but showed both golfers how to play the back nine.
Matt Perry became the B Grade Nett Champion with a combined total of 282 with Neville Potter finishing as runner-up in the nett with a combined total of 299. Neville had the best first two rounds of the championships but just could not get over the line over the last day.
C Grade went to the consistent Peter Skillen with a total of 376, winning from handicapper Steve Buttriss whose combined score was 305. Peter’s great driving of the tee was so consistent that he was able to post good scores over the four rounds.
The C Grade nett winner was popular volunteer on the golf course Jim Smith with a total of 295. He finished only four shots in front of nett runner-up Ron Bishop on 299.
The Veteran’s champion was Bruce Carberry with a total of 321. Bruce was giving several shots away to Geoff Byrne and captain Garry Mason after the first two rounds but was able to come home with a 78 on Saturday and a top score of 75 on Sunday to win.
Des Rowe was able to take out the 72 hole nett winner with a combined total of 281 on a countback.
It is unfortunate that those golfers who had a bad round in the first or second round were unable to play in the last two rounds.
Remember that other golfers can also have bad rounds so you are in with a chance over the four rounds.
