On Saturday during the Individual Stableford event Reggie Murray played the perfect shot to end his round. He scored a Hole-in-One on the 18th hole and thus did not need to take his putter out of the bag.
The Individual Stableford was sponsored by MTA Travel, played in sunny conditions although the later finishers found it a bit chilly. The Div 1 Winner was Reggie Murray, whose 41 points was helped along by the H-in-O. It was his second 4-pointer of the day after a birdie on the 7th with a handicap shot.
Runner-up was Todd Callaghan with his 39 points. He had no 4-pointers but had a succession of 2- and 3-pointers and a couple of 1-pointers.
The Div 2 Winner was a battle among the Juniors. Lachlan Alley took the honours with 43 points. A fine effort, with only one 1-pointer and a hot putter.
Runner-up was Archie Quirk who managed 37 points, one under his handicap.
But for a couple of 1-pointers it would have been better.
The NTP’s were: 9th Anthony Alley; 18th Reggie Murray. The Pro Shop Super-pin, went to Anthony Alley who finished 177 cm away. The ball sweep went to 33 points.
The visitors included Angus and Digby Paterson (Griffith) and Elliott Parker and Charlie Goodsell (Parkes). Only Angus got any return for his efforts.
Reggie was remarkably calm when sitting in the Golfie and reflecting on his shot.
It was a sweet 6-iron which landed nicely on the green and slowly ran towards the hole before dropping in.
