Change of tees for Sunday Westlawn golf

Due to the final round of the Grafton Golf Club championships on Sunday our 49 players were greeted with the tees as far back as possible and the pins in some very interesting positions, but that did not stop teams from handing in some good scores.

The best score of the day was a very-good 26 points by Graham Jackson and Dally Clark (handicapper please take note), closely followed by Jim Fung and Geoff McInerney with 25 points and J Donohoe and J Stockton with 24 points. There were another four teams, D Appleby and S Appleby, N Kendall and M Kennedy, N Simpson and S W-Smith and J Leonard and M McFarlane all with 23 points. Very nice golf all round.

The winners curse also struck again on Sunday with last weeks winners Paul and Bob McFarlane finishing in last position on Sunday, I think that is the fourth time it has happened this year and it just goes to show that it is not far from the penthouse to the basement.

Next Sunday we will be playing the front nine, now that the Championships have been run and won and big congratulations to Jason Casserly who held on to win A – Reserve Grade and ended up 4th overall to Matt McKee. Keep an eye out for Jason’s ‘tee time text’.

There will also be a committee meeting at the Grafton Golf Club on Wednesday August 12 at 4pm.
