Moving Day in the Championships
A Grade
Rippon’s injury crisis has worsened and he is playing on a wing and a prayer despite acupuncture, physical therapy and pain killers. He still leads A grade by 25 from Jarrod Gehrmann with Mark Cassell a further shot back. Scott Hainsworth after his 74 today is in 4th place. The nett leader is Greg Seymour on 205 with David White second on 207, and Mark and Scott next best on 209.
B Grade
Tom Zimmermann has shot to the lead with a score of 242 after 3 rounds. Tom fired a great round of 76 today and leads Alan Jones by 6 and Brian Underwood by 9. Bernie McGlinchey has moved ‘ from the penthouse to the basement’ after his third round 92 and now trails by 11. The news is that Tom is unavailable next week leaving the above and John Turner, Gary Harvey and Col Booth still in with a good chance to claim the championship.
The nett leader after Tom is Brian Underwood on 203, Phil Adams on 205, Alan Jones and John Turner both on 206.
C Grade
The new leader in C grade is Steve Oppert after his brilliant 81 off the stick. This leaves him on 259 two ahead of Gary Eagleton on 261. William Little and John Childs are next best on 267.
John Childs leads the nett on 192 and leads Will Little by 3 with many others in with a good chance.
D Grade
Vince Byrnes has retained his lead and leads D grade by 6 on 283 from Les Farkas who has moved up the field into contention. All remaining players are in with a chance with a great last round so expect somebody to make a last day surge.
The nett is very tight with both Charlie Struck and Vince on 202, Robert Weir on 203, Geoff Boxsell on 207 and Les Farkas on 208.
It promises to be a great last round in all grades with many players in with a chance to claim their respective championship with a last day surge.

If for some reason you fail to complete a round due to an unforeseen mishap on the course, like losing your ball on the 11th, 12th hole or somewhere else then please don’t enter any scores into the computer. Write down NCR on the top of the card and leave it in the box for processing.
Hole in one on 11th
Alan Broadhead used his 5 utility to great affect last Wednesday to record an ace on the 11th hole.
This great shot will be rewarded with a special 6 ball prize from the club and Alan will have his golf ball mounted as a permanent reminder of his perfect shot.
Well played Alan.
