Weekly Golf Results – April 27, 2025

On ANZAC Day the club had a 2 Person Ambrose event with a shotgun start after the
commemoration’s services in town and 42 players came out for a swing. The event was sponsored
by the smiling team of Maddi and Zac Kelly from the ProShop.

The winning team with a hot score of 62.5 were Matt Lawryk and Jim O’Donoghue and they showed
a clean pair of heels to their rivals. Matt was the steady hand with his distance and precision whilst
Jim added the unknown factor with boundless ability but a little less control. Runners up were
Leyton and Frank Crowley on 65 with Luke Wirth and Dustin Littlewood on 65.25 and followed in by
Blake and Myles Smith on 65.5.

On Saturday we went close to having to abandon the day as the skies opened up and the rain settled
in for a good 24 hours. The negative was a Saturday with only 26 hearty players but the upside the
course got a deserved long drink and will now flourish as the tractors go to work cutting the kikuyu
as it springs back to life.

Zac Kelly again stepped up to sponsor the day and save the QuickShine day to a later date. Thanks to
the Kelly’s again. The event was a 4BBB with an Individual Stableford as well.

The winning team was Lindsay Elliott and Wayne Tucker who paired best on the day with a solid
total of 44 points. The 4 Ball format requires both players to make sure they are playing well so if
one misses on the hole the other strikes, which is exactly what Lindsay and Wayne did. They were
chased all day by the Davison family in Reg and Lyn, who just need 2 points to catch them but
couldn’t manage it, they were matched by John Dwyer and Peter Bristol who just needed to hit a
few more greens to get there.

Whilst conditions weren’t great the individual scores were still very competitive. Wayne Tucker
proved to be the one to beat amassing a 39 point haul and his voice could be heard from the outside
club area well after lunch as he recanted shot by shot to anyone who cared to listen. Naturally his
regular group of playing partners headed home straight after golf. Nonetheless it was a hot round
with a 43/40 split off the stick in the virtually continuous rain and included a birdie on the back 9.

Michael Williamson from Dubbo, trying to escape the rain, missed by a point in catching Wayne but
did ace the 9 th , then it was 2 further back to Lyn Davison and Peter Bristol on 37.

The Nearest The Pins winners were – Bridgestone Mining 1 st Denis Howard at 470cm, Griffins
Leading Edge by John Green at 119cm, Parkes Ready Mixed Concrete 9 th by Michael Williamnson –
