Weekly Golf Results – June 16, 2025

On Saturday we had the PRP Real Estate sponsored stableford that also doubled as round 2 of the Handiskins competition for ’25. Tony Dwyer and team have long been supporters of the PGC and golf in general and we thank them for their continued involvement. There were 62 golfers in attendance with the shotgun start being undertaken after the PGC’s AGM, which was well attended and well received. A notable outcome was the election of Rod Luyt to the Life Members club, a honour that was supported by all in attendance.

Coming out on top on Saturday was Col Breaden, returning to the winner’s circle. It’s been a while since Col has saluted the Captain but it was also stressful to the end with his 37 points being equal with James Ward and a count back being required. Col was slow out of the blocks and his playing partners thought there wasn’t any chance of him picking up the Barry Hall trophy contested by the group each week. But he grew a leg on the 2 nd nine with a 21 point haul 3 clear of James on the count back. James hit a very good 37/37 split to record his 37 point haul and his GA is now down to 2.5, a great effort. There were a number of chasers including Aaron Gaffey and the back in form Nym Dziuba both on 36. Aaron has set his sights on a slice of the Parkes Open in a few months and is crunching the ball to great effect currently. Nym on the other hand was in the wilderness, similar to his next golfing odyssey, but now is returning to the monotonous regularity of hitting his handicap on each outing.

The Nearest The Pins winners were – Bridgestone Mining 1st Richard Hamilton at 790cm, Griffins Leading Edge by Nick Kelly at 280cm, Parkes Ready Mixed Concrete 9th by Riall Harrison at 44cm, the Westlime 11th Phil Bishop at 36cm, the Gulf Western Oil 17th Riall Harrison at 83cm. The lucrative money hole was won by Riall Harrison 83cm, confirming his accuracy and ball striking on the day. Ball winners were Aaron Gaffey, Nym Dziuba 36, Brent Jenkins, Jack Elliott 35, Phil Smith, Dave Stevenson 34 c/b.

Next week is an 18 hole Medley Advice for Life, Dusty Powter, sponsored event. It also doubles as a the 3rd round of Handiskins and rd round of the Bridgestone Australia Mining Services shootout.
