EVEN though it was less than 48 hours since the winter solstice, golfers at Boort on Sunday were forgiven for thinking they were playing in early spring as the sun beat down on a perfect June afternoon.
Making the most of the idyllic conditions, Damien Lanyon and Jarrod Nuttall won the A Grade and B Grade divisions respectively as the club’s biggest field of the year took to the course and two grades were needed.
Picking up balls in the ball pool with some solid scores were Andrew Kane, Jamie Sutton, Scott Rollinson and Craig Allison, who nudged out David Hellsten on a countback.
Winners in the nearest the pins were Tim, Damien, Andrew, Nola Cocking and Julie Wilson, with Kevin Linehan and Damien unable to be split and so sharing the honours on the 15th .
This week will see the conclusion of the men’s club championships played out on Saturday.
At this stage, Andrew has a commanding lead in A Grade, but Damien is threatening Stuart Tweddle for the runners-up position, while David looks unbeatable in B Grade with Kevin heading off on holidays and the next rival at least 30 shots in arrears. The Weaver Cup will probably come down to whoever can pull out a hot last round between Damien, Scott, Stuart and Peter.
MITIAMO
A TWO-PERSON ambrose was played on Sunday. Winners were Matty Miles and Phil Hamley from Simon Ray and Nathan Dennis. Nearest the pin No. 4 second shot was Sam Wilson.
