Saturday saw the hosting of the Tooheys 2 Ball Worst Ball Stableford under tough conditions with strong westerly winds, a few morning scuddy showers and very cold conditions with 58 fearless golfers heading out.

The conditions did not stop the regular golfing buddies Rob Lea and Richard Hamilton putting in a strong performance to win the novel event with a score of 31 points, winning by a clear 4 points from Jake Thompson and Josh Kearney.

Rob Lea had a solid all-round day picking up the individual honours with a particularly good 37 points.

This score was very good considering only 3 of our best A-graders could shoot in the 70s due to the conditions and the recent renovations of the greens thus indicating how tough it was.

Rob was also the only individual to square or better par in the individual stableford event.

Five players trailed Rob in with a score of 35 points.

Idlerite Tyrepower 1st won by Warren Blatch at 120cm, the Griffins Leading Edge 4th by Phil Bishop at 280cm, the Dirt Doctor Landscaping 6th by Peter Magill at 200cm.
