The club championship competition was played over two fine generally sunny days, 21 and 24 October 2022, on both courses at Wembley Golf Complex. Friday’s play on the Old Course saw Captain Tom McClain heading the leader board with 83 gross, 71 net. He was followed up by Alan Smith with gross 87, Garth Irvine 88, John Allen 89, Mike Kimbar 90 and John Stone 90. Handicap leaders at the conclusion of day 1 were Tom McClain, Alan Smith and John Allen all with net 71, from Barry Boyd 72 and Garth Irvine 73. B Grade leaderboard was headed by Barry Boyd 97 from Tom Guthrie 99 – there were only three entrants for that grade which the committee will need to address. Monday’s play on the Tuart Course saw Tom McClain claim the A Grade championship with a gross 87 (combined 170) whereas all his followers from Friday scored in the nineties. Carl Colli had an excellent round scoring gross 84 (combined 175) to force his way onto the leaderboard and claim second place from three players with a combined gross of 180 – Garth Irvine, John Campbell and John Allen, who claimed the handicap championship with a combined net of 145, one shot better than Steve Parkinson on 146. Meanwhile, Barry Boyd was unable to defend his B Grade lead which passed to Tom Guthrie with a combined gross of 196. Full scores attached.
