GARFIELD GOLF
Bob Calderara, James Grant and Ian Nicholson provided the highlight of the week at Garfield Golf Club when all three players birdied the par-three 11th hole while playing in the same group.
Their Monday-magic provided a rare achievement, with this the first time this millennium that three players had done such a thing.
Well played gentlemen.
Best in for the day and getting the B Grade win was Barry Taylor with a round of 40 points, whilst Bob Calderara won the A Grade event with his score of 37 points.
A final countback score of 33 points or better was the number to finish in the money.
On Saturday a field of 125 presented for a game of single stableford which meant there were four grades up for decision.
Best in for the day, no make that the week, was Michael Jeffs with a huge 45 points to win the D Grade event.
Sam Butler was the next best winning the C Grade event with a score of 42 points, whilst Doug Amos beat his handicap by five shots to post an A Grade winning score of 41 points.
Brian Webster, currently the club’s most consistent player, won the B Grade event by a countback from Tony Grayson with a score of 38 points.
A final score of 33 points down to a countback was the score required to finish in the prize money.
A total of 14 birdies were scored for the day on the par threes with the 13th giving up four of those.
Bob Calderara, having a great week, scored a pair of those on the 11th and 13th.
Once the fog and mist cleared out on Thursday it was fine and clear for the day’s competition which ended up attracting a field of 81 punters.
Tony Vallance was the best in for the day getting the B Grade victory with a score of 39 points, while a red-hot Brian Webster made it a double for the week getting the A Grade win with his score of 37 points.
A final countback round of 32 points was the total to go down the line.
