Jack Wester blasts a Scorching42

A small field of 6 played on Tuesday as many, no doubt, were exhausted from their efforts in the Heritage Classic. The Heritage Classic field were lucky that Jack spent the public holiday selling motor spirit to those that could afford it rather than playing golf.

Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel took the Mars Bar

Big Trev Maxted Plays a Blinder!

Big Trev Maxted score a blistering 40 stableford points to cruise to an easy victory on Saturday March 12. Poor old Richard “Pickles” Matz was runner up with a very respectable 38 points, a score that would often win. The less said the better about the rest of the field. Ben Dunstan received the Mars Bar.

The Jennison Handicap Matchplay Cup semi-finals were decided on Saturday. Peter Weiss continues to power his way through opponents to become the bookmakers favourite for the final. Peter defeated Richard “Pickles” Matz 3&2 in a fine display of power golf. In the other semi-final Dick Cleland continued to outwit his opponents beating Big Trev Maxted 4&2. Dick continued to show the guile built up over countless years on golf courses.

The players bundled out of the Jennison Cup previously played a stroke round, no doubt due to lobbying by the lower handicap players. This was won by Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel with a net 71, one stroke ahead of Pat Hallion. Kael Harkness took the Mars Bar.

Philip “Tommo” Thomson won Tuesday’s stableford with an outstanding score of 37. Tommo was points 2 clear of Big Trevor Maxted. Tommo has been in excellent form since his shock loss in the first round of the Jennison Cup. Tommo was an unlucky second on the previous Saturday with 38 points, one shy of Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel. Perhaps Tommo is more comfortable in the less personal atmosphere of normal competition than then one on one cut and thruust of match play.
