John birdied the seventh hole and took a commanding lead with 23 points on the front nine, sailing home with 20 points on the back, four points clear of the next competitor.

In A Grade, Mark Warren (11) finished first on a countback on 36 points, with his 21 points on the back nine only just beating Dale Smith (13) who had 20 points himself on the homeward stretch. Christy Merritt (13) had another fine round placing third in the top grade on 35 points.

The B Grade prize winners behind John Pertzel were Chris Fordham (19) on 39 points and Bryan Bautista (18) on 35.

Gregory Daniels (26) was third in C Grade on 35 points.

Murray Downs 36 Hole 2 Person Ambrose Tournament, Saturday/Sunday August 29-30

One hundred and sixty two competitors entered the annual 2 Person Ambrose Tournament with the early touches of Spring creating the perfect conditions for golfing at Murray Downs Golf and Country Club. The team of Casey (0) and Jeremy Schmidt (1) from Horsham Golf club dominated the course and were the Tournament’s scratch winners with 19 birdies across the two days, finishing with 126 off the stick.

Luke and Harper Wilson were crowned the Nett champions with the lowest Nett scores on each day of competition, ending with Nett 124.5 off their combined handicap of 2.25. With 61.75 on the Saturday including eight birdies and 62.75 on the Sunday with one eagle and six birdies, the rest of the field had a tough time keeping pace with the leading pair.

Young guns Tynan Perry and Lucas Free secured second place on the final day with 33 shots on the back nine to finish on Nett 129 off their handicap of 2.5 and beat their nearest rivals on a countback. Andrew Gilchrist and Paul Bethune were dignified in their acceptance of third place overall, also having Nett 129 off their combined handicap of 5.5.

MURRAY DOWNS MEN’S GOLF REPORT

Stableford, Thursday August 20

Three grades were decided in the competition last Thursday with Mick Clohesy the best of the rest with 38 points off his handicap of 27. Mick also took out C Grade honours with a birdie on the 7th hole and a 20-point front nine.

Matthew Loats (8) did enough to beat the 35-brigade in A Grade with his 18 points on the back nine enough to beat the other two players who also finished on 35 points. Behind Matt on countback was Bob Burns (14) and Lyonel O’Shannassy (10).

Roger Walker (21) was first in B Grade with 37 points after a hot start. Steven Kerr (19) had 35 for second place and Mick Kiley (20) was third on 34 points.

All three winners in C Grade ended up on 38 points. It was only the countback that decided things and Tom Wilkins (33) was just behind and Aron Hutchinson was third.

Par, Saturday August 22

Hats off to Rick Harding (11) who had a wonderful round on Saturday to finish on top of the leaderboard with +5 in the Par competition. Consistent golf was the tale of the tape for Rick with only two lost holes in his round. Shane Ingram was not too shabby either with his +3 effort to finish second behind Rick in A Grade and Andrew Gilchrist – who we have been watching closely over the past few weeks – had another good round with +2 in third.

Stuart Holt (15) was out for what seems like his first round in a while, and he played well for +1 and first place in B Grade. Justin Toomey (16) also had +1 but had to play second fiddle with Ross Hendy (14) was finishing third, square with Par.

Paul Raudino (19) is warming up for the club championships later this year with his +2 and a win in C Grade. Kayne Walker (19) was on a tear after the first nine and finished in the silver medal position on +1 and we see Mick Kiley’s name again on 0 as he was third again after his fine effort on Thursday.

4BBB Stableford, Sunday August 23

MURRAY DOWNS MEN’S GOLF REPORT

Stableford, Thursday August 13

Harper Wilson (3) showed up last Thursday and displayed some fine form to finish on top of the leaderboard in the competition. Harper also claimed first spot in A Grade with his 41 point effort including one eagle and three birdies to finish two under off the stick. Ross Hastings (10) was the next best in A Grade with 36 points and Murray Downs welcomed back long-time local Neville Brady (5) who still showed he can navigate the course with his 35 point effort.

Speedy Frame (23) did just enough to claim first in B Grade on 37 points ahead of Steven Emberson (19) on a countback, with Malcolm Talbot (16) only just trailing in the bronze medal position on 36 points.

Mick Clohesy (28) was very close to being the overall winner with his 40-point effort – including a birdie on the seventh – finishing atop C Grade. Any day that you can score 20 points on the front and back is a good day, so Mick would have enjoyed the results. Gerard Mackay (25) and Robert West (29) were second and third in C Grade on 35 points apiece.

John Tripodi (15) hit it within a metre on the second hole to win the nearest-the-pin award with 81 centimetres.

Stableford, Saturday August 15

The number of entrants in Saturday’s Stableford competition cracked the ton with 104 golfers in the idyllic winter conditions. The sun was shining, the slightest of breezes, and people took advantage by getting out amongst it – John Threadgold in particular! John was playing off a handicap of 13 on Saturday and jumped out of the gates with two birdies and 20 points on the front nine, finishing strong on the back nine with 19 points to win the overall and B Grade prize.

It was the young guns who filled up the places in A Grade behind a guest from Werribee Park, Tynan Perry (6) had a five-birdie effort to finish in second on 38 points. Harper Wilson (2) dropped a point on his handicap after having a good round from the Blue Tees on Thursday, shooting one over off the stick to again finish in the places on 37 points.

Behind John in B Grade was Andrew Gilchrist (12) – whose name has beginning to feature in the places in recent weeks – with his 36 point effort just beating Jason Perry (12) on a countback. Bob Burns (15) – another consistent performer – was number one in C Grade with 38 points, knocking in birdies on the ninth and fifteenth holes to capitalise on his good play. Alistair Ferrier (17) also enjoyed a good score too with his 37 point effort to pick up C Grade’s second, with Robert Hinton (15) rounding out the grade on 35 points.

Howard Rosewarne (29) did the job in D Grade, shooting 17 on the front and 19 on the back for his 36 point win of the grade, pipping Robert Smith (21) and Dennis Kelly (23) on 34 points.

Koa Wilson might have felt a flurry of expectation on the 11th hole when his tee shot finished 70 centimetres from the hole. The Ace Society Jackpot of $7,519 was claimed at another course in Australia last week – let’s hope a member of Murray Downs claims the jackpot again soon.

Stableford, Sunday August 16

Well done to the men who finished amongst the winners in the three grades decided in the Medley Stableford competition on Sunday. Luke Wilson (7) finished behind a visitor in A Grade to claim second on 36 points but shot an even par back nine to edge out Jason Stevens (10), who also finished with 36.

All three spots in B Grade were claimed by fourteen handicappers with Brendan Crabbe (14) the best of them, claiming the grade and the overall competition prize with his 16 points on the front and massive 22 on the on the back – including a birdie on the long par four 14th. Lance Stobaus and Koa Wilson were second and third respectively in B Grade with 37 points.

Geoff Brasser (36) was the only men’s member to finish amongst the places in C Grade with his 35 point effort.

MURRAY DOWNS MEN’S GOLF REPORT

Stableford, Thursday August 6

Rick Harding (12) had the start of his dreams last Thursday shooting two under off the stick with two birdies on the front nine to amass an enormous 26 points on the front nine. When you start that hot, you must begin to wonder what’s possible, and Rick was able to guide it home on the back nine with 15 points to win the day on 41 points overall, first in A Grade also. Ross Hastings (10) and Craig Fletcher (10) were not too far behind on 39 and 38 points respectively but nothing was going to steal Rick’s thunder on the day.

The high scores of A Grade were not replicated in the lower grades but golf is a game of relative performance and Paul Sheldrick (22), Barry Lacey (17) and Dennis Kelly (22) did well to fill the three places in B Grade on 35, 35 and 33 in that order.

C Grade had all three prize winners finish on the same score of 33 points with Tony Wilson (35) edging out Andrew Sartori (27) and Joe Morrison (28) on a countback. Another highlight of the day was Mark Warren hitting his ball to one centimetre on the second hole to almost card an ace, easily collecting the nearest to pin award.

Stableford, Saturday August 8

Robert Smith (23) was streets ahead of the field on Saturday on 45 points, five points clear at the top of the table when all was said and done. With two birdies and 25 points on the front nine, Robert set a distance between himself and the rest of the golfers that was never recovered. This meant that in addition to D Grade honours Robert won the honour of overall winner.

The A Grade winners included Tynan Perry (7) in first place on 40 points and the Cruickshank brothers on 36 points apiece. Five bogies and two birdies was good enough for Tynan to win, with Brenton just beating his brother Daniel on a countback for family bragging rights.

Grant McNees (12) won B Grade with 35 points in front of Ross Hendy (13) on 34 points and Glenn Palmer (10) on 32 points while C Grade winners included regular playing partners Samuel Rovere (18) and John Tripodi (16) on 38 points each, with Sam just taking first place on a countback. Max Carroll (19) was third in C Grade on 37 points.

Behind Robert Smith in D Grade was Joseph Higgins (34) on 37 points and Jordan Hageman (23) on 36 points.

Correction: Monthly Medal, Saturday August 1

To give credit where credit is due, the previous men’s golf report should have read: The highlights of the round for Dylan Charleson – the winner of the monthly medal – were on the back nine where he played an exceptional eight shots under his handicap, highlighted by his Nett nine under through holes 10 to 15, including an eagle birdie on the 13th hole. Holing out on 13 from one hundred and fifty metres.
