The 2009 Terry Bros Furniture and Furnishings championship was won by Adam Ferguson with rounds of 74-80-75-70 for a total score of 299 strokes.
In racing terms Adam was in the wash bay when the runner up former champion John Green was rounding the home turn.
Adam by virtue of birdies on the 15th, 16th and 17th for a final round of one under par 70 clearing out to win by 18 shots.
The B grade section saw one of the youngest come to the fore in the shape of 13 year old Thomas Ward with rounds of 87, 82, 84, 91 for a 344 total being two shots to the good of Mark Kelly.
Another barrier to box effort saw resident C grader Joe Goodie, 91, 93, 90, 98 for 372 being a winner by some 15 shots to Mick Smith.
Veterans champion for 2009 is Michael Mitchelson with 87, 85, 83, 92 for 347 being victorious in a canter possibly due to some stars missing in action.
