Golf season open

03 Feb, 2010 10:43 AM
ARMIDALE Golf Club's season officially opened on Saturday, with Greg Campbell and Garry Hamilton combining to win the men's four-ball best ball.

The duo scored 47 points to defeat Ian O'Callaghan and Allan Cowen on 46, who took runner-up honours on a countback from Christian Nexo and Graham Reeves.

Fourth went to Peter Frost and Wayne Meyer with 45 points on a countback from Steve Chapman and Jonathon Watson.

The nearest the pins were Ryan Dawson on the fourth hole, Peter Schultz (7th), John Schuman (11th), Anthony Connors (12th) and Brian Olsen (14th).

The ball competition went down to 41 points on a countback.

On Sunday, the stableford winner was Ben Love with 44 points from Andrew Gilbert and Kevin Marshall on 40 points, with the ball competition going down to 33 points on a countback.

Kevin Russell took out last Thursday's pro-shop stableford with 44 points, defeating Chris Pearce and Chris Guppy who each scored 43 points.

The ball competition went down to 35 points on a countback.

Ninety players fronted the course to play on Australia Day, with A-grade honours going to Darryl Carson with 42 points from Marshall on 41 points.

Craig Morgan's 44 points was enough to see him take out B-grade from Rod Carr with 41 points, while C-grade went to Brian Watts with 47 points from Paul Burt on 41.

The Australia Day ball competition went down to 35 points on a countback.

In other news last week, Rex Gream lined his tee shot up on the 5th hole and proceeded to make a nice swing at the ball.

The only problem was the club went straight under the ball and somehow the ball finished behind the spot where he had it teed up.

Gream decided the ball was the problem and not his swing so he picked it up and tossed it over the fence. This week’s major event is a monthly medal and incorporates the medal of medals final.
