GOLF: Countback Required To Decide Winners

July 20, 2017 By Maggi Barnard

Last Saturday’s Parkes Golf Club 18-hole four-ball-best-ball, sponsored by All Settlers Motor Inn, saw a three-way tie at the top with a countback required to determine the victors. Competing for the Keith Mill and Keith Cusack Memorial trophies, a superior back nine holes saw Peter Magill and Warren Blatch come out on top to win the day.

Magill and Blatch were matched by Vince Kelly and Mick Dellaca, and Victor Gaidzionis and Rob Lea, all on 45 points. Magill and Blatch were followed by Kelly and Dellaca, with Gaidzionis and Lea in third. Other ball winners included Rod Luyt and John Pearce (44); Jarrad Kent and Tim Baker (43); Riall Harrison and Justin Sutton, Steve Simpson and Ross Smith, and John Green and Tom Casey (42). Blatch’s blistering round of 43 individual points saw
him win the Fred Cusack Memorial, three points clear of Mick Dellaca on 40.

Parkes lady golfers found the going very tough again last Saturday with conditions not suiting the 12 starters. With a number of ladies competing in the annual western Districts ladies Golf Association Rose Bowl, nobody in the reduced field could match their handicap in the 18 hole stableford event sponsored by Parkes Golf Club.

In another exciting competition, a fourway countback was needed to determine the victor. Winner was Margaret Hogan with 34 points, beating Colleen Flynn, Ann Berkeley and Kaye Jones via a countback. Dale Matthews was the final ball winner with 33 points.

Tucker Wins Low Scoring Event

June 29, 2017 By Maggi Barnard

On a day where only half a dozen golfers either beat or played to their handicap, Wayne Tucker stood out to claim a one point victory in the Mike Richardson Me- morial Shield at Parkes Golf Club last Saturday.

Sponsored by Richardson Dental Surgery, the 18 hole stableford was played on a course that proved too tough for the majority of the 50 starters. Tucker used the early conditions to shoot an excellent 39 points, too good for the rest of the field.

Ball winners went down to those golfers on 33 points. Saturday’s event doubled as the third round of the Handiskins which sees nominated golfers vying for a spot in the four-person final. The finalists play a skins game with club vouchers up for grabs on every hole, and a chance to com- pete in the national final in Queensland.

Anthony Riach virtually assured himself of a berth in the local final with his 37 points. Three more qualifying rounds remain as competition heats up.

In ladies golf, Junior Ladies Club Cham- pion Kasey Fay-Rice continued her mete- oric rise through the ranks with an impres- sive one point win in an 18 hole stableford sponsored by Judy McCabe.

Kasey shot a very good 37 points to beat Sue Holman, who finished with 36. Lynne Guise finished third with 34 while Colleen Flynn, Barbara Donnelly and Ann Berkeley all scored 32 points.

Parkes Golf Club men will have their last chance to qualify for this year’s IGA Scratch Shoot-out this Saturday. Played in conjunction with the Telescope Tyres and Batteries Monthly Medal, the sixth and fi- nal qualifying round is the last chance to get into the 19 person field.

The shoot-out sees 19 players tee off the first hole and the golfer with the worst score eliminated each hole. Last year’s event, which is a favourite with members, was won by Joe van Opynen who beat Mark Kelly.

While Telescope Tyres and Batteries sponsor the scratch awards this Satur- day, Central West Glass are sponsoring the handicap events. The Griffins Leading Edge putting competition will also be held in conjunction.

Parkes Boars Celebrate 50th Anniversary

June 29, 2017 By Maggi Barnard

Get ready for a big weekend of celebrations and football with the Parkes Boars 50th anniversary. The Club reformed in 1967 and has become an important part of the Parkes community. Both the old boys and the new, along with supporters and guests, will come together to reminisce about the good days and memories that were made over the past 50 years in the Club.

There will be a special Gala Dinner at the Parkes Services Club, kicking off at 6.30- 7pm. Tickets are $50 and are available at https://www.parkesboars.com

Guest speakers on the night will be current Wallaby’s player Tom Robertson. Tom was born in Wellington and spent his early years playing rugby union in Dubbo. Another guest speaker is ex-Wallaby Jon White. Jon made 24 test appearances and is regarded as one of Australia’s finest rugby players in the 20th century. He debuted in 1958 against New Zealand and also played a significant role in the rival of Australian Rugby in the 1960’s. In his early days he played rugby in Cumnock and he will certainly give a great insight into the game. The Gala Dinner is expected to be a great night, so lets raise a glass to 50 years!

Be sure to come along to watch the Boars play this Saturday against the Cowra Eagles at a home game.
