Semi Finals:
The first semi saw #1 qualifiers Jase Hyland & Jamie Burt take on #4 qualifiers Hugh Griffin & David Spaven. The match saw a tight contest with Hugh and Dave initially playing the steadier golf, going 2 up after 5 and holding this lead through to the 12th hole with both teams playing that stretch of holes 1 over the card.
However with Hugh and Dave hitting a couple of poor tee shots to make bogey it was Jase and Jamie who maintained the pressure, continuing their string of pars around the back nine, including a stunning up and down on the 17th hole (and an impressive 1 over through the last 12 holes) to seal a 2&1 victory.
The second semi saw #2 qualifiers John Norman & Jackson McGuire take on #3 qualifiers Chris Greenwood & Tony Guy. In what was a see-sawing battle with both teams playing some fine golf intertwined with some wild golf it was John and Jackson who held a slender lead of 1 up through 12 holes.
However Chris and Tony couldn't keep up the consistency losing both the par 4 13th and par 5 14th holes. Some desperate play on the 15th and 16th couldn't seem them recover the deficit with John and Jackson closing out a comfortable victory of 4&2.
Final:
The afternoon final between Jase Hyland / Jamie Burt and John Norman / Jackson McGuire was a slightly one sided affair with Jase and Jamie maintaining the steady play from the morning semi, building a solid lead of 4 up around the front nine.
John and Jackson struggled with their tee shots and despite winning the 11th with a solid par they found themselves standing on the par 5 14th dormie 5. With two tee shots finding the fairway it was Jase to hit first, playing a stunning 4 iron to 5 feet from the hole. Jamie duly knocked in the eagle putt to win the match 6&4 and become our Foursomes Champions for 2016.
