An excellent field of 71 players stepped out Saturday for the Warwick Golf Club President’s Day.
The winner, but not before a countback was the inform was the inform Wayne Rhea. Rhea has been building towards this win with some very good scores in recent weeks and he returned nett 66 on Saturday.
His form may have been good in recent weeks but on Saturday he had to wait for the result of a three way count back before he was declared the winner.
Joining Rhea on nett 66 was recently crowned “B” grade champion Daniel Bowles and Ian Skillen.
After the count back it was Rhea who got the nod and Scott McLennan to present his first President’s Day trophy. The runner up Daniel Bowles received a voucher while Ian Skillen had to settle for the run down.
Hot on the leaders heels was Mitch McLennan (nett 67) and Michael Hoskin (68). Craig Burgess and Michael Watt both recorded 69 while Peter Farrell, Geoff Hinze and the ever consistent Evan Pfeffer all recorded 70 to round out the run down.
Don Idema carried away five balls at the Pro Pin on 13. Wayne Rhea topped off a great day picking up four balls. Shane Scotney collected three and Cody Haynes two. No doubting Haynes had his eye in, he also won the NTP at the fifth and 16th. Matt Penn (7th) Troy Alsford (9th) and Richard Sims (11th) also collected balls for NTP.
