WET weather finally caught up with weekend golf as persistent rain from mid-morning through to tee off time discouraged anyone from venturing out for the final round of the Boort club championships.
As a result, scores from those who had completed three rounds were used to decide the winners in this year’s championships. This meant that Andrew Kane and David Hellsten were comfortable winners in A Grade and B Grade respectively, while Damien Lanyon claimed victory in the Weaver Cup by four shots from Scott Rollinson.
A stableford event will be played on the Saturday with a few players expected to be away as the tournament season begins.
Last Friday, the annual Farmer’s Fourball, graciously sponsored by Nutrien Ag, was held with a record field of 58 players enjoying beautiful, sunny conditions.
Taking out the A Grade with 45 points were locals Craig Allison and Kelvin Mayberry, with Ray Thompson and Gary Lake, from Barham, runners up on 41. In B Grade, Gary Hayward and Peter Delbridge, from Rich River, also won with 45 points, while Rob Sim and grandson, Luke Boyd, were runners up on 41.
In the ladies’ competition, Di Johnston and Kate Perryman finished two clear of Dot Beattie and Gaye Sim. Nearest the pin prizes went to Peter Delbridge, Doug Couper, Rob Johnston and Craig Allison.
