This year’s Club Championships not only saw players pitted against one another, but also having to deal with some significant challenges that mother nature threw up, most notably considerable rain.
After the 54-hole cut was made, there were 24 players left in each of the A, B & C Grade Gents, and top 12 in Ladies A, B & C grades contesting the final round on Sunday March 21st.
In the Ladies Championship Caitlin Vanderkruk (Top left) was able to defend her 2020 crown and once again become the Ladies Club Champion for 2021 shooting rounds of 82, 76, 79, 77 to finish with 314. Runner up was Chrissy Booth with 346.
The Gents Championship was an extremely hard-fought affair with Scott Draper taking a 5 shot advantage over his brother Mark, into the final 18 holes. However, in the end it was Jarrod Mann (Top left) who would come through managing to get up and down on the 18th for par to secure a 2 shot victory over last year’s champion Jordan Rooke.
Alana Griffiths (Top right) was able to hold on to her overnight lead and take out the Ladies B Grade Championship for this year with Jan Stapleton coming in second.
The B Grade Gents saw a 3-way tie at the end of 72 holes which required a playoff to determine the winner. After holing out from the fringe on the 1st playoff hole, Lindsay Jordan (Middle left) came away with the victory after Chris McNamara and Warren Scott were unable to match his par.
The Ladies C Grade saw another tight tussle with Lyn Howarth (Middle middle) overcoming a 2-shot deficit and managing to overtake third round leader Glenda Sellwood, to win by 2 shots.
In the C Grade Gents Jason Moss (Middle right) secured a 3 shot victory over Bryan Hadden after shooting the best round in C Grade on the day.
