2 min read

BOORT Golf Club’s annual Farmer’s Four-ball event took place on Friday with a record-breaking crowd of 73 in attendance. 
Locals dominated the A Grade, with Di Johnston and Doug Couper tying with Damien Lanyon and Mark Perryman on 45 points, with the latter winning the countback with a sizzling 25 points around the back nine. 
In the B Grade, young locals Pat and Flynn O’Rourke lost their countback for runners-up to Gary Haywood and Peter Delbridge from Keilor with 45 points apiece.
But by far the best score of the day was turned in by the winners, Rob McNaughton from Barham, who teamed up with Andrew Rutley from Essendon at the last minute, to come in with an incredible 50 points.
 Nearest the pin winners were Grant Humbert from Lockington, Geoff Hibbert and Doug McKnight from Barham, and club president, Damien Lanyon.
A great field of 13 players enjoyed the sublime conditions for the last round of the club championships on Saturday, with our newest member, Natham Wright shooting his best score of 99 off the stick and nett 66 to finish well clear of the rest of the pack. 
Runner up was Simon Eicher, up visiting his parents, with dad Peter, Stuart Tweddle, Andrew Kane and Graeme Ball rounding out the rest of the ball pool. 
In the nearest the pins, Natham, Stuart, Simon, Shayne and Doug all took home a prize each. The final championship results saw Andrew win A Grade, followed by Stuart and Damien.
Peter topped the B Grade list, followed by Graeme Ball and Natham Wright. In the Weaver Cup, Damien Lanyon was the clear winner, 6 clear of Stuart. To complete the awards, this month’s Lanyon Fencing voucher went to Peter Eicher with a record 15.5 points. 
Wedderburn
The winner of the Wedderburn club championship was Byron bird with a nett 75 while Owen Bailey was runner up with only 1 shot behind at 76. K Lewis was nearest the pin and G Nesbit received best 2 on 2.
