Last Saturday our last round on the existing Parkes Golf Course layout was played as construction had commenced on the realignment of the western boundary holes.
There were 85 players with some visitors from Forbes for the 4BBB Stableford and the annual Naggers Cup.
In the 4BBB event Robert Rea and Bruce Symonds were the overall winners with a total of 48. The husband and wife pairing of Mel and Craig Matthews were two points behind, with Dub Rodgers and Neil McMillian, Gordon Pritchard and Peter Bristol, Michael Lynch and Rod Luyt and Robert Hey and Craig Matthews all together on 45 points.
In the individual event the scores would have won on any week with Simon Hogan on 41 points winning on a countback from John Green. John’s score coming off a 2 over 73 scratch score was by far the best scratch score. They were only 1 point ahead of Dub Rodgers and Peter Magill, and Craig Matthews.
There were 12 other players at Stableford par or better making it a well contested event.
The Naggers Cup, sponsored by Liz Matthew’s family, was won by Mel and Craig Matthews.
