Weekly Golf Results – August 18, 2025

On Saturday Parkes Auto Glass were our sponsors and huge thanks to Matthew for sponsoring the day. Whilst the conditions were a bit chilly, 52 members were on hand to test the course. Logan and Brenton have been slowly getting the course ready for the Open in mid September, so the greens are starting to run quicker and trickier.

Once again it was the early bird catching with the worm with Ken Keith getting home with a well compiled 40 point haul albeit having to survive a countback. Obviously, the handicapper will be on the lookout for these bigger scores leading into the big events, so Ken may have peaked a little early. He had an even spread with 20 points on each side and a credible 44/43 off the stick. Dylan Hood was the unlucky player on the day, also reaching the lofty 40 mark only go under on the countback. Dylan reached his high point at the halfway mark with a 25 point haul off after smashing 40 off the stick that included a birdie on the 8th hole. We’re not sure how long the halfway turnaround took and if there were any premature celebrations but Dylan could only manage 15 points on the back with a miss and 4 double bogeys, so the wheels had fallen off, although he did par the last as a consolation. Next in was the ‘forever man’. Whenever the scores are called out each week Gordon Pritchard is forever in list and again on Saturday he complied a 38 point bag. He went out in 49 but steamed home with a 46 to be 1 point in front of Lindsay Elliott, Rob Hey and John Fowler.

The Nearest The Pins winners were – Bridgestone Mining 1 st Rob Hey at 428cm, Griffins Leading Edge by Wayne Powter at 677cm, Parkes Ready Mixed Concrete 9th by Wayne Tucker at 113cm, the Westlime 11th by Wayne Parker at 275cm, the Gulf Western Oil 17th by Glen Hadfield at 368cm. The lucrative money hole was won by Glen Hadfield at 368cm.

Ball winners were Gordon Pritchard 38, Lindsay Elliott, Rob Hey, John Fowler 37, Scott Winter, Rod Luyt, Joe Davies 36.

This week is 2 Person Ambrose with a shotgun start at 11am. Another reminder to get your nominations in for the Open weekend on the 13-14th of September.
