We were a few players short today only 20 players and two guests. It was a presidential performance today for our one and only Stuart Clarke to win in a tight finish with a 74 off the stick and 38 stableford points. Overall the scoring was lower than the previous week so I guess my handicapping is levelling the field…sorry about that :-). Note that we have a TRIPLE jackpot next week!

If you have a perpetual trophy please ensure it is returned next Saturday and given to Neil Argall or Rodger Clarke.

Results for today are
1st-S.Clarke(38),2nd-C.Priems(37),3rd-L.Mannix(36)
4th-G.Hill,A.Davies,E.Bassi(35),5th-M.Akdag,N.Iuculano(32)

Some great scores today but none better than net 58 from Ross Trevean our monthly medal winner for November. A good turnout today and a bit of a shock for some of the players who were able to bump and run at Rich River and found that all the long chips pulled up real quick back on our home course. Rodger Clarke got the Nearest the Pin for the ball and the money hole is jackpotted to next week.

Well now is the run up to the end of the championship year and Ken Grist is sneaking up to Chris Priems the current leader. Chris was a brave man not turning up today 🙂

Results for today are.
Monthly Medal Winner Ross Trevean Net 58
1st-R.Trevean(58),2nd-N.Iuculano,K.Grist,A.Petricola(65)
3rd-D.Rees(66),4th-R.Grant(67),5th-J.Siemon,S.Clarke(68)

Once again the Melbourne Cup weekend trip was a huge success especially for our well-deserved winner, the dark horse – Kenny Grist!! Ken was well in form in the first round with 32 points 3 clear of the field and despite Chris Priems charge with a 35 on Sunday, it was not enough to catch Ken. Ken’s second round was very steady and he managed to get points on all 18 holes which few of us could duplicate.

Rodger, who did his usual excellent job organising the whole weekend, had his xxth birthday and although not rewarded with a win had a good time and a nice speech from his presidential son.

Bobby McDonald won the Cox Plate this year with his excellent drive of minus 1 inch.

Allan and Rodger shared the CAD award which was really fitting as the A was missing in action.

Rich River was in excellent condition and we played the West course on Saturday and the East course on Sunday. All the water hazards were dry as bones but the fairways and greens were nicely looked after a green.

All in all it was a great weekend which everyone enjoyed with friends, good food, great golf and the occasional drink 🙂

The overall results for the two round aggregate stableford were

Ken Grist – Winner – 62
Chris Priems – Runner up – 60
Malcolm Adey – 3rd – 58
Damien Lee – 4th – 57
