Nearest the pins were David Wood on the 3rd, Michelle Dillon 5th, Gary Pay 9th and 13th and Andrew Spitty on the 16th. Saturday was also the last day of our club Championships and Andrew Spitty prevailed once again to win another championship with scores of 73, 68 and 78 = 219 and for the second year in a row it was a father daughter combo with Olive winning the Ladies during the week. R/up was Chris Waterson who found the gap at the start of the day was just too big to haul in.

After a tight tussel all day in the B Grade Peter Hall managed a win after John Hewitt had a horror final couple of holes with final scores being 259 Peter and 262 to John. C Grade came down to a play off between the leader Greg McNeil and Ken Williams who started off 10 strokes behind him. Greg had a day he would rather forget but on the 3rd play-off hole, he was rewarded with the C Grade Championship with a score of 288. The Matthew Colville Medalist of the Year went to Peter Hall with his net 70, John Hewitt won the NDGA medal on c/b from Blake Shay with nett 142 after the first two rounds and he also won the Charlie Nesbit Trophy for the best nett score of the Championships with a 70 + 71+73 = 214 and again he won this from Blake Shay.
