Fox cleans the course

SUPERB SWING: After putting in the effort at the Blue Lake Golf Course, Garry Fox secured a victory in the midweek stroke competition last Tuesday.

IN the midweek stroke competition at the Blue Lake Golf Course on Tuesday, Garry Fox blazed through the field with a superb round of 74-12-62.

Fox was reeling off three birdies in his round.

He even found time to throw in a couple of double bogeys, turning with a 38 off the stick.

All he needed was a simple bogey or better to shoot under par, a personal best for Fox.

Unfortunately, he found the trees on the right and then the bunker on the left before scrambling a six.

Closest to catching Fox was Brett Lewis.

After a solid opening 40, Lewis was performing well on the inward nine, including an unexpected birdie on the 12th hole to set himself up for a tilt at the win.

However, he scored a triple bogey on the 17th hole, costing him any chance of a win.

His round of 83-15-68 was still good enough to reel in second place.

John Millhouse banked third place with his 69, holding off Trevor Finnis in a count-back.

Millhouse came in with a neat 39 which included a double bogey on the 10th hole while Finnis scored a triple bogey on the last hole which cost him the count-back.

Finnis leads the list of ball winners which included Graeme Anderson, Trevor McLean, Stephen Von Duve, Daniel Christian, Colin Stratford, Jim Ferrazzola and Ben Wilson.

Fox made it a clean sweep for the day, adding the pro shot competition and novelty prizes to his list of achievements.
