The early morning golfers dominated the placings in the Lithgow Golf Club’s Saturday par event with six of nine voucher winners teeing off before 9 am with the winds growing stronger as the day progressed.
The shot of the day came from Paul Stewart who after dunking his ball in the 8th dam, took his drop and from a distance of around 180 metres found the bottom of the hole for a birdie three giving him a plus for his card.
Winner of A grade was Troy Luka (3) who had the best round of the day with a +4. Luka who was the short course winner a couple of weeks ago showed that he is just as talented on the longer course when he recorded five birdies and three bogies to give him a scratch score of 70 off the stick. Second place went to the consistent Dave Titcume (7) with a score of +2 while the best scratch score went to Blake Bender with a -2.
The B grade winner was Jeff Geddes (16) thanks to a strong back nine that saw him shoot a +3 giving him a +1. Dave Warren (13) was runner up with a score of square while Greg Guest (10) had the best scratch score with -8.
The C grade winner was Leo Murnane (20) with a score of +3 following two consistent nines. Tom Jennings (30) was runner up on +1 with Graeme Osborne recording the best scratch score with a -13.
Nearest the pin awards went to Troy Luka, Damien Marjoram, Graham Dean, Travis Cameron and Adrian Sharp.
