All 3 Knockout Series have now been completed for 2015 with both Clarence Valley Glass 2 person Ambrose and the T.G.I.F 4 ball Knockout finish decided last week. As previously reported, Phil Tarrant was the victor in the Grafton Undercover Storage Singles Knockout when he knocked over Neil Hayward in that final on the 20th Hole. It was a resounding victory, Ian Denley and Matt McKee in the Clarence Valley Glass 2 person Ambrose final, defeated Paul Grieve and Trent Dickson 6 & 5. In the T.G.I.F 4 Ball Knockout a couple of Tracey’s, namely, John and Graham, cleaned up Neil Hayward and John Dougherty on the 18th hole to claim the win in that series. Next Saturday, in conjunction with the Insurance Advisor Nett sponsored Monthly Mug will be the 2015 Gold Mug play off for all the Monthly Mug winners over the past year. There are a couple of stand-out favourites in the field who are dual mug winners. They are John Hough who won the May and July Mugs with scores of 68 and 71 respectively. Deano Hayes is another who won both the August and September Mugs with scores of 64 & 66 nett. However you cannot discount our current Club Champion, Matthew Worthing who took out the March Mug with 67. Another player who must be considered a contender is Super Vet Jack Harvison, who claimed the December Mug with 65 nett. Other Mug winners who have qualified include Luke Worthing, (January), Grant Titman (February), Andrew Fletcher (April), Nick Fuller (June), and Danny Li (October). Danny has already qualified for the 2016 Gold Mug play off by winning the November Mug. The play off for the various silver medal grade winners will also be held on Saturday. Last Saturday’s Grafton Truck & Trailer 18 hole Stableford, produced one of the more popular winners for the year, when Veteran Kevin Vaughan (23) with 42 points, to lead the 106 starters on the day. Next best was David Morgan (8) on 41 points which gave him the win in A Grade. R/up in A Grade was Rohan Ford (7) with 39 points. A countback was required to decide B Grade with Ron Hockey (11) and Dougie Hughes (11) both finishing with 38 points. C Grade went to Bill Dudgeon (16) with 37 points from Irwin Perring (18) with 36. The countback procedure had to be employed in D Grade and as a result Brian Hewitt (24) was rewarded the win from Les Jordan (27), both players recording 38 points. Allan Wade (21) claimed 2 nearest the pin trophies. On the Par 3, 6th his shot finished 187cms from the cup and on the 10th put his tee shot just 297cms away. The Pro-Pin went to George Cowan with his shot finishing just 283cm. In the Pro-ball run down 11 players finished on 34 points. However only 3 of those players received a pro-ball for their efforts as well as everyone with 35pts or better. On Friday 4th December, the T.G.I.F Group will be conducting their final outing for the year, play to commence with a shot gun start at 11.30am. Prior to tee off time, a card draw for partners will be held with the odd social “getting to know you” drink of some kind. Locally, all players are reminded that the annual major Greens renovations will commence which may result in some changes to regular playing conditions. The renovations, subject to weather conditions should be completed during that week. Ray Hopwood
