Zac Pearce celebrated Christmas Eve with a hole-in-one on the fifth, on his way to an impressive 42 points to win A-grade.
The highlight on Saturday came from Graeme Willoughby, who achieved the rare feat of ‘shooting his age’ - in this case three under his age - with a brilliant sub-par round to score 42 stableford points and win A-grade.
The A-grade runner-up on Saturday was Ross Pogonoski with 40 points, B-grade winner was Jen Choice with 41 from runner-up Craig Manning 38, C-grade winner Tony Tonta 42 from runner-up Kris Priest 40, and D grade winner Ryan Bywater 41 from runner-up Fiona Milward 39.
Christmas Eve A-grade runner-up was Gary Rodda with 41 points; B-grade winner Jenny Swainger 37 on countback to Warren Bull, and C-grade winner Fiona Milward 42 points from runner-up Graeme Butcher 40.
On Wednesday, captain John Radeski finished the year on a high note with an excellent 41 points to win A-grade from runner-up Geoff Corboy 37.
B-grade winner was Malcolm Imlach with 39 points from runner-up Jenny Swainger 38, C-grade Ron Friend 40 points from runner-up Tony Tonta on 39, and D grade Jack McGrillen 44 points from runner-up Bailey Doncon 38.
