Club results for 29/3/25

It was tight at the top for the first round of the Barkman Trophy and Shootout on Saturday (March 29).

In calm conditions on a course softened by overnight rain, three golfers posted net 72s, but Garth Jameson won on countback from Paul Tunnicliff and Maurice Woodhouse.

Garth's gross 84 playing off a 12 handicap, which included a birdie two at No 11 in an fine back nine of 38, pushed him just in front of Paul who shot an 83 playing off an 11 and Maurice who came in with an 88 playing off a 16.

Peter Watson's net 73 was good enough for fourth. 

He was followed by Keri Kotua (74) and Jim McMullan (74), with Gareth Edwards (74) earning the final Barkman point for coming seventh.

Two of the younger brigade, Ryan Smith and James Barton, also drained birdie twos to share the kitty with Garth.

Pete Green's 78 was the best gross of the day, with Keri and Peter also shooting under 80 with 79 each.

It was a family affairs among the nine-holers, with Lloyd Moyle winning bragging rights on countback from wife Sue after both posted net 34 off the front nine. Ali Mawby, Paul McCrae and John Dixon all played to their handicaps with 36.

Next Saturday (April 5) we will celebrate the opening day of the winter season with a four ball best ball with drawn partners followed by a BBQ. Everyone is welcome, including family of club golfers and those without handicaps. The nine-holers will also play a four ball best ball off the back nine.
