SATURDAY’S competition at the Mount Gambier Golf Club was a two-man Ambrose with a field of 45 teams.
Neil Quirk and Peter Miller were the best combination on the day as they posted a nett 60.75 to win by the slim margin of a quarter of a point.
This score was good enough to win them both a $60 voucher, with Jack Jennings and club professional Craig Davis posting a solid 61 to finish in second.
In third place was the pairing of Michael Rookas and Stacey Fiegert, but only after a count back from three other teams on nett 62.
Teams needed 65 nett or better to win a ball and winners for the day included Ryan Meakin, Matt Bryant, Bryan Hunt, Gary Button, Ben Robinson, Samuel Phelan, Joe Clements, Matthew
Knowles, David Anderson, Michael Griffiths, Trent Eitzen, Brian Simmonds, Adrian Ballintyne, John Gosling, Jim Leane and Rob McIntyre.
The pro-shot on the 16th went to Gary Button and Dave Boyce grabbed the shot-of-the-day honours for the second time in as many weeks on the eighth.
Women’s two-man Ambrose
WITH only one team of women, the pairing of Marie Douglas and Di O’Donnell took home an easy victory, with their final score of nett 75.
Thursday Stableford
PERFECT weather and course conditions greeted competitors last Thursday, with high scores expected for the day’s stableford competition.
In the end it was the young Thomas Miles who produced the goods with a score of 46 points to win C Grade and the day.
