Congratulations to our 2023 Club Champions.
A cold morning greeted the finalists to the 2023 Championships but the golf played was anything but cold. Several players were in contention in each grade for both the gross and nett trophies with the top four in each grade battling it out between themselves in the seeded section. The pressure was on! Some players responded brilliantly shooting their best scores for the Championships. Others tried hard but couldn’t find that elusive spark.
The daily competition was won by Mitchell Smee with a terrific round of nett 63. This was one better than the 64’s recorded by Scott Lacey and Kevin O’Rourke and two better than Ron Chilby’s 65 and 3 better than the 66’s recorded by Brad Rimmer and Ron Hewson. Balls to 69.
Remembering that the order of prizes was best gross, best nett, r/u gross and r/u nett, the following results were obtained.
Club and A Grade Champion: Ben McEvoy 285 Gross Runner Up: Noel Laman 311
A Grade Nett Winner: David Garcia 272 Nett Runner Up: Brad Rimmer 283
B Grade Champion: Ron Chilby 348 Gross Runner Up: Peter Francis 360
B Grade Nett Winner: Blake Raymond 272 Nett Runner Up: Wayne Griffiths 279
C Grade Champion: Stephen Young 369 Gross Runner Up: Col Booth 372
C Grade Nett Winner: Mitchell Smee 269 Nett Runner Up: Scott Lacey 285
Congratulations to our 2023 Champions and well done to all the players who participated in this year’s event.
Some tidbits from around the Course

Champagne Nine celebrate the Matildas
C9ers had their biggest field stretching as far north as Wollongong to down south in Berry. The “Matildas” theme provided an air of excitement out on the fairway all the way back to the bar. (Celebrating the Under21’s & over 60’s Oztag Aussie wins in Ireland). Thanks to the players getting into the spirit of the green & gold, providing nibbles and good conversation (and cheering) around the drinks table.
Winners:- our regular visitors from Wollongong, consisting of Clare, Victoria, Vanessa and Janine (newbie), who generously donated their winnings back to the group’s Christmas Fund.
