Five youngsters took to the course on Saturday morning and with three players on 27 nett, a countback was required to determine the winner.
Max Harding prevailed as a result of having holed out for eagle on the second-last hole. It also earned him the Bank Street Wood Fired Pizza and Gardens voucher for play of the day.
Owen Smith came second and Bob Taylor-White got third. Just three shots separated the field on a good, competitive day.
The afternoon field saw the white tees used for a par round. The weather has been much kinder this week but scoring was still proving tricky.
Ron Harrison didn't seem to mind as he plotted his way round for victory for the second week in a row, carding a handy +1.
Runner-up for the second week in a row was “jet-setting captain” Jed, who composed himself after being -5 after six holes to finish -1, holding out Tim Batten in a countback.
Balls went to Batten, young gun Rayden Hannigan and evergreen Bill Eddy on -2.
Nearest-the-pin on the eighth was Batten and the 14th was claimed by Campbell Smith. Drive-and-pitch on the17th went to Jed.
No birdies were recorded on 13.
The Avenel Meats $100 meat tray was collected by Kevin Spencer.
Thank you to Tim Batten, Mark Hannigan, Kevin Fiorini and Bill Harmeiston for their great work on the course once it dried out during the week. It's really looking a picture.
The tournament is not far away, so get your calendar sorted to make sure you get there with great prizes on offer, including a car — yes, that’s right, Beer Auto Group Seymour is putting up a brand new Mitsubishi ASX GS for the first person to hole on the par-3 fifth hole. So make sure you mark August 20 in your diary.
The feature sponsor this week is Puppa & Gaehl Real Estate Nagambie/Tatura, which is one of the major sponsors and the people to see for all your real estate needs.
Tomorrow the club is hosting the Dalhousie Vets tournament. Special thanks to Dave Fullager for organising this par-3 layout for the event and we hope to see a good roll-up.
This Saturday is stroke/monthly medal and will be followed by the mid-year 1930s-themed ball. If you haven’t already done so, get your tickets booked to assist with catering.
Finally, safe travels to two of our jet-setting members, Jed and Adam, who headed off on Sunday.
Good golfing to everyone.
