Visiting 12 year old Delta Robinson defeated the Burra Men on Tuesday scoring 39 stableford points, 6 better than the best male score & 15 better than colourful local identity Philip “Tommo” Thomson. Think about Mars Bar recipient, poor old Andy Phillips, beaten by 18 strokes!

Delta clearly demonstrated that “playing like a girl” is not a derogatory comment but one of praise. We look forward to seeing Delta’s golf develop in the coming year’s and wish her all the best for her golfing future.

The final round of the Club Championships was played last Saturday with some interesting results. Star recruit Boh Wall, only true single figure player in the field and Mark “Mouldy” Millward, the best player of the modern era to have never won the championship burst from the ruck back in equal 6th place to lead the qualifiers.

There was greater competition in A grade this year (due largely to an administration error) and the match committee decided to increase the qualifiers from 4 to 8. This was welcome news for the bottom 4 which included defending champion David “Jack” Webster and 3 previous champions. The only qualifiers not to have previously won the title are Boh and Mouldy and they will understandably be sentimental favourites.

In B grade Richard “Pickles” Matz returned the form we have come to expect to head the qualifiers while the others only had to turn up.

C grade was much like B grade with only 3 players qualifying.

When Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel posted a score of 41 points he started making plans to spend the winning voucher, only to have new member, James Tiver come in with 42 points. It looks like James is getting the hang of this game. Gus “the Good Guy” left early not staying for the presentation. Next best was Boh Wall on 35, 6 behind Gus The Good Guy. The Mars Bar went to Ben Dunstan.

The second round of qualifying took place on Saturday in much better weather than the first round. It is difficult to predict who will qualify at this stage as qualifying is decided by the best two of four rounds. David “Robbie” Robinson has moved into the lead with 172, 2 strokes ahead of Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel. Fans will be delighted to see that colourful local identity Philip “Tommo” Thomson is right up there in third place on 173 and threatening to take out another championship. I would encourage all punters to get their money on Tommo now before the odds get prohibitive. Mark “Mouldy” Millward rounds out the top four for now. It is pretty clear where the change of grades happens this year with Richard “Pickles” Matz well clear of his rivals.

The first qualifying round for the Club Championships was played on Saturday. In a round that saw some extremely heavy rain early in the second nine, many scores were affected. Former champion, Matt Opperman took the rain in his stride scoring 82 off the stick for a net 73. Philip “Tommo” Thomson was also unaffected scoring 85 off the stick (Tommo is not in the same class as Oppy) to tie Oppy in the handicap event. Ben Dunstan collected the Mars Bar. Trevor Maxted & Dick Cleland abandoned their rounds during the rain to go home for a hot shower and get ready to watch the Port Power beat the Crows. Defending champion David “Jack” Webster did not play.
