The first round of matches has been completed and the results are below. The next round is due to be played on the 29th of August. The match to watch will be the clash between Richard “Pickles” Matz & Chris “Critta” Waters as both players are striking form at the right time.
Seven players not involved in Bogisch Cup responsibilities played a stableford event on Saturday. Richard “Pickles” Matz continued his winning form edging out the unlucky Pat Hallion in a count back, both returning cards of 35 points. All seven played scored better than 30 points with Mark “Mouldy” Millward taking the Mars Bar with 31 points.
Richard “Pickles” Matz issued a stern warning to fellow B Grade finalists with a cracking 37 stableford points on Tuesday. Pickles finished 5 points clear of runner up Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel on 32. Andy Phillips took the Mars Bar with a disappointing 26 points.
The final qualifying round for the club championships was played last Saturday with Kobi Wenzel showing top form at the right time with a gross 86 nett 70 to win the day by 2 strokes. Kobi’s fine round has seen him qualify first in B grade and also first for the Bogisch Cup handicap matchplay.
Colouful local identity Philip “Tommo” Thomson failed to submit a score.
The Bogisch Cup first round of playoffs is set for this Saturday. Ideally all matches should be played on the day. If the match is deferred by mutual agreement then it must be completed before the next round on August 29

Boh scored a sizzling 83 improving his best round tally by 11 shots and rocketing into 3rd place overall. Boh also won the day’s handicap event convincingly with a net 69, 3 shots clear of Kobi Wenzel, Matt Opperman & Bob Taylor. The Mars Bar went to Bevan Ladhams.

On Tuesday it was decided all the girls that needed to play their Laurel Wreath round could play that day due to no competition listed in our calendar (this week was scheduled for country week but was cancelled due to that pesky virus).
The results for the round were Sharyn Roberts v Margie Stockman 5/4 Sharyn’s way, Andrea Rowe v Judy Reilly 4/3 Andrea getting up, and Di Day v Glenys Pierce played before Tuesday with Glenys winning 3/1.
Three girls not playing Laurel Wreath played a stableford round, winner was Peg Gebhardt 29 points, and Di Day won nearest to the pin on hole 8.
Next Tuesday the finals for the Women’s championships is to be decided.
