The course was in mint condition and the morning groups started with a bang in Innisfail Seafood’s Monthly Medal Stroke on April 1.

Andrew Rose is showing good form of late with another round under par, helped by an eagle on 15 and tied with Darryl Gould, who is also in a purple patch on 68 nett.

Rose held the lead for a bit, until Jack Johnston shot a personal best on the back nine and grabbed the lead by one with 67 nett.

The afternoon groups struggled in the heat and windy conditions it was awesome to see Debra Smith and Glynis McGrath back on the course.

Barry Scott and John Lombardi played in the same group and tied on 70 nett.

An afternoon highlight was Craig Alman’s pitching wedge from 11 almost going in the hole for an ace. He made his nervous two-inch putt.

Results:

1st: Jack Johnston 67 nett

2nd: Andrew Rose 68 nett c/b

3rd: Darryl Gould 68 nett

Last month, IGC hosted Rounds 4, 5 and 6 of the Survivor Golf Series, where their volunteers and members did a fantastic job of preparing the course in preparation for a full course, as well as helping with the cooking.

The visiting team of Shrek & Wreak won Round 4.

In round 5, Jake Cockle and Ian Saunderson played an amazing round with the lowest score off the stick for the weekend, placing them tied on -12 nett, which forced them into a three-way playoff against Bid

Goodies.

Unfortunately, Cockle and Saunderson just did not land it close enough in the final attempt of the playoff.

Luke Peters and Trent Mann were on fire in Round 6 and determined to secure the golden ticket to the Port Douglas final in December with a clear win and finished -10 nett.
