Stroke play was the format for the Men’s Championship A and B Grades; C Grade is Stableford.
The Ladies Competition was also a Stroke event.
A field of 40 men and women entered for the final round. A daily Stroke competition was held concurrently with the Championship competition. Three grades were played.

The course was, again, freshly mown and looking great; greens were in very good shape, with pin placements a bit challenging, but probably appropriate for the final round of the Championships. Great job gentlemen!
Weather conditions were unfortunately a bit ordinary, with some rather heavy and persistent showers making things uncomfortable early. It was also quite cold at times.

I trust that a "full" report of the Ladies event will be posted in due course.

This was a great day for our Golf Club. At the conclusion of play, a BBQ was catered for by Darren and Leah Cheeseman. Great work folks. After the BBQ, the results and presentations were held in the Member's Room - a much warmer environment. After a few words from President Darren, the presentations were made by Rick and Maree. A great job by all.
