Port Lincoln Golf Report
Wild weather couldn’t keep players from getting onto the golf course this week with Harris Real Estate sponsoring the week’s Stableford competitions. With sixty one men daring to bring out their best in blustery squalls on Saturday, the score of the day was to be found in B Grade. Morgan McCarroll was unfazed by the conditions as he marched his way to the top of the leaderboard with 41 points to his name. Luke Gardner was biting at his ankles, finishing the day with 40 points. A countback was required in A Grade with Christopher Baird just getting the better of Daniel Townsend with both men scoring 37 points. C Grade saw an identical affair occur as David Lawson crept past Shaun Carpenter on a Countback with both men scoring 37 points.
Jennifer McDonald was victorious in Saturday’s ladies competition, topping the small field with a score of 34. Kay Freeth did her best to close the gap but had to suffice with second with her 33.
Thursday saw Lyn Hosking reach unprecedented heights, besting her handicap by eight shots to cement a score of 44. Jennifer McDonald can still hold her head proudly, coming in second with a score of 40.
Mark Butt topped scored Wednesday’s competition, 40 points just enough to take out A Grade while Tyson Dodd was just a shot off the pace. Phil Lessue bested Grant Woods in B Grade via a countback with both men scoring 38 points. C Grade was taken out by Nathan Miller as he played to his handicap to lock in 36 points. Andrew Puglisi rued a couple missed opportunities as he finished the day with 34 points.
Sunday saw Kylan Miller take out the day. His score of 41 was enough to keep Michael Haritos and his score of 38 at bay.
