The nett scores were excellent on both Saturday and Sunday.

Mac Dawson won his fourth club championship after a fine round of 71 on Sunday.

It was not easy going, however, as after Saturday’s round he was equal leader with Mick Alsleben – and one shot ahead of Jeff Harrington.

Simon Groom was a couple further back.

On Sunday, Groom had his round of the tournament with 71 also to finish as runner up, three off the pace.

A good gathering was assembled on the practice green to watch the lead group complete their round.

In B grade, Brad Hockley played consistent golf with his best two rounds on the weekend.

This enabled him to win his first championship by 11 shots to Tony O’Neill.

In C grade, Damien Collison was the clear front-runner in the event.

And, despite a poor round on Saturday, he stormed back on Sunday to be well ahead of runner-up Kevin Thompson.

Collison has now has a B grade handicap.

The senior division was won by Alsleben by four shots to Harrington.

Brenan Reeves was the winner of the Ray Weekes Cup for the best overall nett.

On all four rounds he played better than his handicap to win by five shots to Collison.

The A grade nett was won by Alsleben when he also had three rounds of 71 and a 70, to finish one ahead of Groom, who had a great 66 in the last round.

Hockley did the double in B grade by winning the nett also to O’Neill by three shots.

Likewise, in C grade, Collison also completed the twin win with a big break on Thompson.

Ross Banks and Harrington benefited by Alsleben’s earlier nett win as only one trophy can be awarded, with Banks being the winner on a countback in the senior division.

On Saturday, June 24, round three of the Scone Golf Club men's championships was played as an 18-hole stroke.

It was the Was Whyte & Herb Tilse Memorial Day and Jack Tilse’s Trophy.

Joel Harrison was the scratch winner of the Herb Tilse Trophy when he had 72.

This is a pleasing result as Harrison has recently returned to the game.

The best nett score on the day was by Thompson who had a splendid round of 64 nett to win the Was Whyte Trophy in its 44th year of play.

The grade prizes were won by: A – Steve Morse 68, B – Col Solway 69 and C – Lindsay Hodge 66 nett.

The scores obviously indicate the course played relatively easy for many in the field.

​Lindsay Hodge won the NTP on the 2nd/11th with a shot to 0.7 metres which also won him one ball in the jackpot kitty.

On the 8th/17th Joel Woods won the ball with a good shot to 2.53 metres.

The ball winners were: Kevin Thompson 64, Joel Harrison 65, Lindsay Hodge 66, Steve Morse 68, Col Solway, Clayton Rogers, Adam Moore, Jeff Harrington 69, Mick Alsleben, Brad Hockley, David Druce, Guy Wilkinson, Paul Smart, Brenan Reeves 70, Jake Teague 72 and Simon Groom 73.

In the final round on Sunday, June 25, another ideal day for golf allowed some great scores.

Polished cups and shields awaited the winners after round four of the championships.

The Phelps trophies were played for as an 18-hole stroke for the daily event.

Groom had the best round of 66 nett and this won him the A grade prize.

Collison shot 68 nett and won the prize for B grade, while Thompson completed a good weekend of golf taking the C grade honours with 74 nett.

The ball winners were: Simon Groom 66, Mac Dawson, Damien Collison 68, Brad Hockley, Jake Teague and Mick Alsleben all on 71.

The NTP on the 2nd/11th was won by Les Cottam 1.66 metres and by Alsleben 1.90 metres on the 8th/17th. 

On Saturday, July 1, the men will play an 18-hole stroke for the Scone RSL Group Monthly Mug and it will also be round 1 of the FBBB Championships with round two to be played on July 15.
