Johnston, Kane take club honours

DI JOHNSTON has won the Boort Golf Club ladies’ A Grade championship.

Her victory last week qualified her for today’s champion of champions event being held in Charlton.

Winner of the club’s B Grade trophy was Sally Keeble.

Last Saturday was the final round of the men’s club championships and it was great to see 13 members battle it out across two grades in difficult conditions after more soaking rain during the week.

In the A Grade, Andrew Kane had his best round for the year with 4-under off the stick to register a nett 68, three ahead of Robert Johnston on 71, and Craig Allison a further two behind on 73.

In the B Grade, Grant Tooth racked up his first win of the year with nett 70, three clear of Graeme Ball.

In the nearest the pins, Kevin Linehan continued his dominance of the novelty events claiming two more, while Andrew and Robert won one each.

In the club championships, Andrew took out the A Grade ahead of Stuart Tweddle and Tim Lanyon, while Robert Johnston did likewise in B-grade, successfully fending off Alister McDougal and Kevin Linehan.

In the Weaver Cup, Tim Lanyon’s consistency earned him the trophy, with Stuart in second and Kevin coming in third.

Wednesday ladies saw Helen Ward roaring back to form with 49-12-37 from Dianne Wayman 51-8.5-42.5. Helen also took out the count putts with an exceptional 12 puts over the nine holes.

Sunday had the golf course holding up remarkably well after 40mm of rain since Thursday.

The stableford event was a close affair with David Vanston (35 points) finishing strongly over Rob Stranger (34).

Rob started the day with straight and powerful ball striking, but couldn’t match David’s consistency and superb short game down the home stretch.

The nearest the pin on the 9th was extremely tight between David Vanston and Nathan Joyner with honours by a whisker to David.
