Weekly Golf Results – September 29, 2025

On Saturday our members and guests played for the time honoured Coops Boys sponsored trophy in the Stoney Creek style format event. Coops Boys were the support show to Cooper Thomson as he held court at the course every Saturday afternoon. Father Troy, David Stevenson, Brendan Simpson, Rob Cheney, Peter Magill and Michael Dellaca have Coops memory front and centre in sponsoring of this event and his antics will ever remain in the memory as fun to watch and be part of. There were 78 players in the unique Ambrose format where 1 to 3 scores are counted on the hole depending on if you took the lowest or highest handicapper, with all 3 players having to equally hit 6 drives.

The winning combination was the team comprising Leone Stevenson, Kaye Jones and Cath Kelly who rolled in with a 95 point haul. They had 3 points up their sleeves when the final count was in but were semi confident after all had contributed strongly in the outcome. Kaye was her deadly self around the greens, Leone was finding the centre of the fairways and Cath, as usual, was offering with the left handers view of the course. The runner up team of Wayne Tucker, Lindsay Elliott and Ian Ward thought they were in with a chance after playing early and compiling a solid 92 score. These guys are used to playing together and the combination was obvious as they all scored well. Next team in 3 rd place were Kris Smith, Colleen Staples and Jill Crisp with 91 points. Again, these players gelled well on the day and were just shy of the major prize on the day.

The Nearest The Pins winners were – Bridgestone Mining 1st Mick Smith at 265cm, Griffins Leading Edge by John Green at 220cm, Parkes Ready Mixed Concrete 9th by Garry Phipps at 171cm, the Westlime 11th by Leone Stevenson at 80cm, the Gulf Western Oil 17th by Lindsay Elliott at 48cm. The lucrative money hole was won by Leone Stevenson at 80cm.

Ball winners were Stephen & Michael Riley, Tony Jackson 90, John Fowler, Michael Lynch, John Pearce 87, Zac Kelly, Jack Matthews, Mick Kelly 84.

Next weekend the members will contest a 2 ball Multiplayer event.
