On Saturday 10th November the Club Championships finals for each grade were held with the players enjoy both a perfect course weather wise as well as in conditioning thanks to the wonderful work the green staff have put in over the last few weeks.
As a result we have a new club champion in Jase Hyland who beat Jamie Burt on the 37th hole. After Jase initially got away to a good start the momentum swung Jamie's way and he held a lead for most of the match, at one point getting to 4 up. However Jase hung around all afternoon, getting his nose ahead late before finally making a solid par on the 37th to win the hole and the match.

In the C grade Barry Sparrow had a good win 7&5 over Bob Jackson Jnr. Barry cruised to victory thanks to playing a very consistent brand of golf all day long which Bob was unable to match. Barry also deserves further congratulations as this win means he has secured back to back C grade club championships which is a fantastic effort.

Thanks to all the players who played in the spirit of the game and to the green-keepers for presenting the course, in particular the greens, in the best shape they have ever been, which was also due in part to the efforts of Anthony Evans who got up at the crack of dawn to ensure the greens were cut before play. Finally thank you to the four referees, Chris Greenwood, Greg Klatt, Creagh Bedson and Brian Wallace who gave up their usual Saturday game to ensure all the matches ran smoothly.
