Producing a round reminiscent of 15 years ago, our mower mechanic to the stars, Darrell Cassidy, has brought home a round for the ages.
Playing off a modest handicap of nine these days, Darrell still rates as having one of the best short games in the club.
Darrell has produced a one over par round of 72, less his handicap of nine for a very impressive 63 nett.
In so doing, Darrell has picked up the A Grade Scratch, the A Grade Medal, the Nathan Schofield Trophy and also the Teetotallers Mug. A very impressive outing.
Our B Grade medalist played a very consistent round all day, knocking them up the middle, and draining solid six to 10 foot putts early on to set up his round.
Darrell still rates as having one of the best short games.
Bernie Parker presented to the judges with quite a handsome 69 nett on a countback from playing partner Ron Page.
Ron edged Bernie out for the B Scratch shooting 85, both gents two below their handicaps on the day.
Balls for the day went back to 69 nett in a tough day out for the field to make this elite crew.
Balls went to Brian Wales 67 nett, his brother and local-cum-Moruya-visitor Garry Wales on 68 nett, Bernie Parker and also Ron Page on 69 netts.
Tim Beveridge made nearest the pin at 3.13m on our Bendigo bank sponsored Hole in One Hole, to take a ball.
Ron Page walked away with a carton of gold for the day’s raffle of cards.
Howls of scepticism were noted on the calling of this card.
****
IN A lower than the normal deep pockets scoring seen on midweek days, our winner this week did just enough to edge out the field and effect the least damage to his handicap.
Bob Martin has shot one under his handicap and won by one shot over the fast finishing Garth Webb and Greg Heycox who played to their respective handicaps on the 12 hole, par 24 stableford point layout.
Bob was victorious with 25 points, whilst Garth and Greg both recorded 24 points.
Equal third (or actually fourth technically) were David James, Peter Steinke and Peter Steinke.
Good practise for these boys before their annual River Golf pilgrimage.
Our lucky ball winner in this week's stronger number field was Ron Kerr.
THIS WEEK: Our gents on Saturday will play for the Ron Page Trophy in an individual stableford. Our ladies will resume with a club trophy stableford.
