Men
Shane McCormick took the win at Nagambie in hot summer conditions.
McCormick fired a huge 39 stableford points to finish one-shot ahead of a resurgent Shaun Bryant, who produced a stellar score of 38 points.
The next best went to the previous week’s monthly medallist Jeff Lodding with 37.
Lodding proved form was the reason for the win the previous week and not a fluke as some had suggested.
Nearest-the-pins on the day went to Peter Lawrence, ploughing one onto the eighth; Alan Anderson crushing it up to the 13th; and John James with an unforeseen strike on 16.
The four-ball summer pennant season is in full swing with the Nagambie side losing week one away from home against Kyabram Valley View 1.5 to 3.5.
Week two saw the Nagambie boys get the job done at home, defeating Rushworth three points to two.
The coming week’s golf will be a stroke event with J. Mills in the office and J. Lodding in the bar.
