Lanyon prevails in final stroke event of season
1 min read

THE last stroke event of the year was played at Boort on Saturday and had a good turnout of eight players despite the windy and trying conditions. 
Taking part in the four-ball knockout final, Tim Lanyon posted the best score of the day with his nett 74. Damian Lanyon was only one behind on 75, with 4ball partners Stuart Tweddle and Peter Eicher next on 77, with the latter claiming the last ball on countback. 
Nearest the pin prizes were shared around this week, with Tim, Stuart, Damian, Joe and Andrew taking out one each. 
In the four-ball knockout final, Tim and Natham prevailed 2 and 1 over a determined Stuart and Peter, while Tim also played singles knockout final with Damien, which ended up all square. 
However, Damien’s bogey 4 up the 19th hole was good enough to take the win. 
This Saturday will be the last stableford event of the year, with a family day and 9-hole competition planned for our closing day and presentations on September 14.
Due to several players taking part in the Victorian Sandgreen Championships at Charlton, only a small field of six battled it out in the stableford event on August 23. 
Enjoying another great score, Natham Wright blitzed the competition with 42 points to finish 10 clear of three others. 
With only two balls up for grabs though, it was Peter Eicher who missed out in the countback as Robert Johnston and Joe Kane claimed prizes in the ball pool. In the nearest the pins, Gaye Sim and Kevin Linehand took out two each, while Robert Johnston was the best on the 15th.

In B Grade Terry Dzufer took out top spot on 34, while Rod Ellis was runner- up on 30. The nearest the pin second shot on hole seven was Adam Gould. 
In the Knockout Grand Final, Simon Ray took it out on the 14th hole with Adam Gould taking runner up.
