2015 Championship Review

STROKE (Gross) CHAMPIONSHIP

At Sanctuary Cove on Friday 1st May - 7 inches deluged the Resort and stopped around midnight. It was a testament to just how good the Green Staff at Sanctuary Cove were to get the golf course up and playable by Sunday. For the week of the tournament bunkers were out of play for the Two Ball Best Ball rounds on Monday and Tuesday, however all the bunkers were back in play for the Championship rounds that commenced on Wednesday. An amazing achievement given the amount of rain that was experienced. From Saturday 2nd May and for the whole week - beautiful weather greeted all our senior players - not a cloud in the sky and a slight breeze made the conditions ideal for golf

The mens stroke event was taken out by Colin Kenning from Kiama off a handicap of 1. The final round was on the Pines Course and Col Kenning carded an 81 clearing out to a comfortable win by 12 shots from Matt Briant, Peter Roth and Geoff Hopkins

The Ladies Stroke event was more closely contested with both Tracey Wood (Lakeside at Camden) and Elizabeth Graham (Griffith) all tied going into the final round with June Wills from Bribie Island a further 4 shots back.. With the final round on the Palms Course Tracey returned 87 - the best gross score of the day to win by 4 shots from Elizabeth.
