Fred Sorenson Trophy 25 Nov 22

The first trophy event of the club’s 2023 financial year was the Fred Sorenson Trophy, an ambrose competition, played on the Tuart Course on 25 November 2022 in generally fine conditions, partly overcast with a couple of very light showers during play. The course was in fine condition (as always) and consequently some good scores were recorded and the results were tight.  With three birdies on the second nine, the count-back went to the captain’s team, Tom McClain, Mike Spencer, John Campbell and Barry Boyd with gross 65 and net 56.5.  Runners up with a gross 64 were Tony Fisk, John Stone, John Allen and Tom Guthrie – Tony’s handicap of 5 meant that their adjusted handicap was lower and their net was also 56.5.  Of note was Barry Boyd’s birdie on the 18^th – a low tee-shot cleared the water and entered the bunker to the left-front of the green, exiting over the back of the bunker to end up about 60cms from the pin – unfortunately he missed his putt, but his team found the mark!  The photo below shows the newly-elected president, David Hayes, on the right, congratulating the winning team – L-R Barry Boyd, Mike Spencer, John Campbell & Tom McClain.
