The championship semifinals were played on Saturday with A grade presenting two close matches. Boh “Van Pelt” Wall took defending champion Matt Opperman all the way to the 18th hole before losing 2 down. In the other match David “Jack” Webster defeated Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel 3 & 2, setting up a rematch of last year’s final.
In B grade the matches were not close with Richard “Pickles” Matz returning to the winners circle defeating Kobi Wenzel 6 & 4. If Pickles keeps this up we will enter him in the Burra Show. In the other match Chris “Critta Waters crushed Andy Phillips 5 & 4. The final between Pickles & Critta will be of great interest indeed.
In C grade the players seemed to have trouble organising themselves which is probably why they are in C grade. Peter Weiss !0 & 8 received a forfeit from Bob Taylor while Trevor Maxted & Trevor Maxted hope to play their match before the final.
The finals will be played next Sunday with the A grade hitting off at 9:00 am. If you would like to watch the finals, please try to get there early as, due to covid-19 restrictions we are limited to 1000 people on the golf course.
Stop Press: Trevor Maxted defeats Bob Perry to take on Peter Weiss in the C grade final.
