The third qualifying round of the club championships was played on Saturday in cold wet & windy conditions, with the temperature hovering around 8 deg.
With the exception of Andy Phillips, players struggled with hands becoming so cold that gripping the club became almost impossible.
Andy Phillips scored 86 of the stick for a net 69. This shot Andy to the top of the leader board of B Grade qualifiers. Runner up with a net 74 was Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel who beat grandson Kobi on a count back (not a popular result). Andy Spackman scored net 77 followed by Michael “Tickers” Tickner net 78, Dick Cleland & Keith Roberts from Victor Harbor Golf Club both scored net 79, Eddie “The Flying Dutchman” Van Keulen net 80, the mercurial Bob Taylor net 81, Mark “Mouldy” Millward & David “Jack” Webster net 82, Gordon “The Chook Man” Kakoschke net 84 while Chris “Critta” Waters took the Mars Bar with a net 89.
Sam Cleland, Trevor Maxted & colourful local identity Philip “Thomo” Thomson failed to complete the round. Sadly this ends their championship campaigns for 2018.
