THE weekend of September 16 brought perfect weather and bright sunshine to Kilmore Golf Club, KGC, for its big golfing tournament.
Saturday featured both the men’s and mixed 4BBB Stableford competitions, followed on Sunday by the men’s open tournament.
The majority of players were Kilmore Golf Club members, however there were many from the surrounding area and from neighbouring clubs.
Saturday’s competitions had 10 men’s teams and 12 mixed teams take to the course, with the KGC pairing of Nick Wogan and Tony McGregor taking out the men’s division win on 43 points,
Shane Culpin and Rob McDonald, of Broadford Golf Club, were second on 40 points.
The mixed event was a much closer contest, with five teams separated by just one point.
On 42 points were the teams of Jill Banon and Merv Schadendorff, and Cheryle Andersen and Ron Campbell.
With three teams left tied on 43 points, the winners were Helen Clancy and Cyril Anderson in first, Sophie Banon and Rob McFadden in second, and Andrea and Mark Boland third.
There were nearest the pin markers on all par three holes, along with drive and pitch on the first and eighth holes.
On Sunday, the men’s open was populated by a field of 32 players and had both A Grade and B Grade competitions decided on a countback.
A Grade winner was Chris Biffin, from Justin Ryan – both with nett 72, while B Grade winner was Mick Roberts on countback from James Boland, both nett 67.
The KGC committee thanked all involved, particularly the people who helped during the event to ensure the success of the weekend.
Extensive volunteer work went into getting the course into the best possible condition for the weekend.
The committee also thanked all other volunteers for their work in administration and in the kitchen on the day.
