On Saturday 49 members of the Warwick Golf Club members played in a single stableford event.
A reasonably good field considering there was 36 hole event on the Sunday.
The winner with an excellent score Charlie Morrison has been out of form recently.
Comeback Charlie returned a score of 41 points to win by a couple of shots from runner up Phil McEvoy.
Also on 39 points was Derrick Hewitt followed by Peter Balfour(38). Anthony Seidl (37) is now returning some consistent while Sam McLennan (36) had the bragging rights over his dad Scott (35).
At the Pro Pin on 13 Ross Bell collected five balls, Keith Clarke four, Anthony Seidl three and Wayne Watt two balls.
Eddie Kemp landed the NTP on five. Slim Eldridge had success at the seventh; Darryl Bain at nine Scott McLennan on the 11th and Brodie Quirk after a few quiet weeks had some joy at the 16th.
The Sunday 36 hole foursome championships was a hotly contested.
At the completion of the first 18 holes there were four pairs on 77.
Shane Reid and Rhys Farrell, Shane Scotney and Eamon Rooney, Tim Sutton and Daniel Bowles and Kris and Sam McLennan all returned 77 gross which set up an excellent afternoon of play.
The McLennan’s looked to have the win bottled up until they found tree trouble on the 17th.
Rhys and Shane had been trailing by half dozen only a few holes earlier but got it back to one shot playing the 18th or 36th as it was.
Rhys was left with a tricky sloping two metre put to tie the event, but it slid by the hole and Sam and Kris prevailed.
Only one shot behind Rhys and Shane were Tim and Daniel on 78.
In the Coe Cup 36 hole net championship it was extremely close at halfway mark with Eamon and Shane just a shot in front of Tim and Daniel and Darrell Bain and his partner new member Geoff Lee.
Terry Bennett and Tony Kahler were also only two and a half shots off the shots off the lead.
At the end of the day Tim and Daniel prevailed by one shot from Eamon and Shane.
Great contests all round in both events and congratulations to all winners.
Shane and Eamon were ruing their 10 on the second hole in the afternoon which proved costly in both events, but they couldn’t even win that situation with another pair who shall remain nameless (except they were both “Garys”) managing an 11.
As is always the case there were plenty of stories doing the rounds at the end of play but there was some great golf played and everyone enjoyed their day.
