THE combination of Jim Larsen and John Wray prevailed in last Saturday’s Physio Group South West two-person ambrose event at Collie Golf Club.
Wray’s length off the tee and Larsen’s good putting enabled them to finish on 65 nett, three-quarters of a stroke ahead of Greg Moyle and Trevor McCormick, who also received trophies for their score of 65.75.
The mixed pairing of club captain Graham Williams and Dot Lawrence had 66.75, while there were four pairs on 67.25 – Doug Bayley and Regan Old, Brett Smith and Mick Finlay, Joel Simmonds and Rodney Simmonds, and Joe Italiano and Phil Warburton.
Lesley Motion and Eric Annandale also received vouchers for their nett score of 67.25.
The sad luck story of the day belonged to David Blurton who partnered event sponsor Kyle Hulls. They were three-quarters of a stroke better than the winners but had to settle for $20 vouchers.
DAVID Farr was “far” away in the distance when dominating last week’s Tuesday leisure day stableford.
Farr finished on 42 points to be four clear of his nearest rivals, Jay Robinson and Jarrad Miller, with the runner-up spot going to Robinson on a countback.
Colin Giblett on 37, Peter Coombs and Graham Williams 36, were also rewarded with vouchers.
Novelties were won by Jim Larsen (No. 4), Alan Kent (7), Trevor Graham (9), George Newlands (14) and Jarrad Miller (18).
JIM Larsen tuned up for his weekend success with a win in last Thursday’s nine-hole scroungers, finishing one shot ahead of Kim Metcalffe, on 21 and 20 respectively.
Three players on 19 – Graham Williams, Jim Moyses and Ray Alp – together with five on 18 – Brian Banks, John Williamson, Dave Henderson and Roger Hunter – also received vouchers.
Best gross score was Greg Bell’s 40 off-the-stick, while novelties went to Darren O’Brien (No. 4), Bruce Jackson (6) and Colin Naysmith (9).
This week: Today (Thursday), nine-hole scroungers $5 Christmas entry day; Saturday, 18-hole stableford club trophy; Wed. 18-hole Boxing Day sweepstakes.
