They were three shots ahead of both Charlie Manning and Wayne Phelps, and Sean Constable and Brenan Reeves.
The B and C Grade events were decided over 27 holes with Sandy Lettice and Glen Tarrant finishing on 132 to win B Grade.

The nett winners were Charlie Manning and Wayne Phelps 112 ¼, on a countback from Les Cottam and Kevin Thompson.
Ball winners were Charlie Manning and Wayne Phelps 112 ½, Les Cottam and Kevin Thompson 112 ½, Sean Constable and Brenan Reeves 114, Lindsay Hodge and Trevor Wilson 114 ½, Sean Constable and Glen Tarrant 115 1/2.
As expected in the clubhouse after the game, there were many tales of the day being shared as players recounted shots from unfamiliar places.
Last Saturday a good field of golfers played an 18 Hole Stableford for the Tony Bowd and Mark Hayes Trophy and it was also the deciding round of the Captain’s Trophy.
The winner was visitor Reid Brown who had 40 points playing off a handicap of one and shooting three under par!
The A Grade winner was Brenan Reeves on 38 points, B Grade went to Graham Brown on 35 points and C Grade to Trevor Wilson on 36 points.
The NTPs were won by George Davidson 2.6 metres on the 2nd/11th, and by Adam Moore 1.58 metres on the 8th/17th.

The Captain’s Trophy was decided with the winner John Roe being the figure of consistency with rounds of 36 and 36.
He edged out Kevin Thompson who had the same total points, but was beaten on a countback.
In the ladies 18 Hole Stableford the winner was Lyn Banks 28 points.
This Saturday will be an 18 Hole Stroke/Stableford for the Monthly Mug and it will be the second round of both the Winter Cup and the RJ Lowrie Cup.
Last Thursday in Scone ladies golf, eight matches were decided in round one of the Peter and Marg Marshall Singles Knockout.

Round two matches need to be played on or prior to July 16.
In the stableford event Sarah Howey was the winner and Hilary Nicol won a ball.
Today, an 18 Hole Stroke for the fifth Monthly Medal and GNSW Medal will be played for the Melanie’s Jewellers Trophy and it will also be the fifth putting round.
Next Thursday, July 9 the ladies will start play earlier in an 18 Hole Stroke for the Noreen Marshall Trophy and District Medal.
This is to accommodate visiting junior players as a team representing Hunter River District play a team from Dubbo on the Scone course.
There should be some high quality golf played over the two day event held on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning.
The 18 Hole Mixed Foursomes Championship will be played on Sunday for the Ross and Lyn Banks Trophy.
