Great to see so many winners at the presentation. Thanks to Terry Bros as major sponsors
In the A grade scratch our 2 premier young golfers kicked off the event in great style with Jack Elliott carding a 2 over par 74 to be chased in by Aaron Wilkie with a 75. Jack got out early in the morning and put the target there for the rest of the field to fire at. With a strong northerly blowing the big hitters in the club made short work of the down wind holes. Aaron hit off mid morning and came in with a 75 and playing partner and longtime contender Riall Harrison hit a solid 77. The other major finishers were Wayne Parker with a sterling 80 and Charlie Kaehler, Stephen Riley and Michael Thomas all carding 82’s. In the net Peter Bristol was the surprise leader with a 69, followed in by the guns in Jack Elliott, Riall Harrison and Michael Thomas.
Round 2 was contested on Sunday with the temperatures down and the prevailing wind from the west and occasionally south west, this gave all the indications of the scoring heating up.
In the A grade scratch event Jack Elliott continued his march forward with another excellent 75 but the chasers had changed with Michael Dumesny and Anthony Riach to the fore with a 76, 77 respectively. Wayne Parker and Aaron Wilkie were next best on 80. In the net event Anthony won the day with his 70 on a countback from Wayne Powter. So this leaves Jack 5 strokes in front of Aaron going into the last 2 rounds and whilst not insurmountable it will take all of Aaron’s skills to bridge the gap.
