Fine dry conditions, lots of fairway run and top-dressed greens made for high scoring from the field of 119 players and a resultant DSR of 71.

The countbacks favoured Jackson Taylor and Bill Hannam with Greg Riley missing out. A countback was needed to decide the winner of B Grade where David Hayward showed he has recovered from his recent illness to record 40 points off his handicap of 18 ahead of Graham Kerr. Kevin Seamons filled third place with 39 points on countback from Chris Eardley and Simon Carr.

Narooma Ladies
The course was closed on Monday and Tuesday so no golf was played.
Wednesday, September 12 was our President’s Day and the Ladies played a fun game of Snakes and Ladders where each Hole’s Stableford Points are multiplied by the following Hole’s Stableford Points. This game can be excruciating if you have a large number of points and then wipe the next hole, you then have to start again. The Winner of Division 1 and the President’s Trophy was Julie Blessington with 559,872 points. Runner up was Sylvia Donohoe with 73,728 points. The Winner of Division 2 was Margaret Bennett with 497,664 points and Runner up was Dierdre Landells with 41,472 points. Balls went to 192 points. Our fun day was completed with some delicious cakes and jelly snakes provided by our Ladies President, Jan Boxsell.
Several of our Ladies played in the recent Eden Ladies Open Tournament. Sylvia Donohoe was the successful Division 1 Scratch Winner and Tina Wilson was Division 1 Handicap Runner Up.
Tuross Head Country Club
The Tuross Head Country Club men's golf par competition was called off mid-way through the round last Saturday due to a very strong wind storm.
Golfers were asked to leave the course when there was a risk of injury due to falling tree limbs around the course.
However players can make up for lost time with two events being held over the coming weekend.
There will be a stableford competition on Saturday which will also incorporate a Irish 4 Ball event.
Golfers are also reminded that the Tuross Head Country Club Senior Open, an 18 hole stableford competition, is being held on Sunday, September 23.
There will be awards for men and ladies overall winners together with A and B grade divisions and runner ups.
The format for the day will be a shotgun start at 8.30 am for 9am hitoff. Entries can be made at the Golf Magic console at the club.
