Travellers Rest Golf Group
Monday, Jan. 20, Treasure Hill – Stableford
On Monday the TRGG headed off to Treasure Hill and for Brendon McEvoy it was not only the perfect weather that got his week up and running, it was the 39pts he collected on a very tricky golf course to storm away from the rest of the field and easily win the day’s competition. Neil Bramley and Derek Thorogood fought it out for second and third, with Neil winning on count back.
1st Brendon McEvoy (17) 39pts
2nd Neil Bramley (10) 36pts
3rd Derek Thorogood (16) 36pts
Tuesday, Jan. 21, Green Valley – Stableford
On Tuesday Green Valley provided the venue and increased numbers meant two divisions were necessary.
For the second day running it was the Irish contingent who found the conditions to their liking and in Division 1 Liam Keegan walked away with top prize, closely followed by those two other steady stalwarts, Mike Rushant and Barry Wood.
Kehn Brehm.
In Division 2 Peter Cahill did the business and beat off challenges from Ken Brehm and David Callick.
Div.1 (0-15)
1st Liam Keegan (15) 36pts
2nd Mike Rushant (11) 35pts
3rd Barry Wood (12) 34pts
Div.2 (16+)
1st Peter Cahill (19) 34pts
2nd Ken Brehm (19) 32pts
3rd David Callick (18) 32pts
Thursday, Jan. 23, The Emerald – Stableford
Thursday and it was off to the favourite course for many of our golfers, Emerald, and just when you might think the Irish guys would be feeling right at home it was the Americans/Canadians who won the day.
In Division 1, Alan Thomas, a guy I really enjoy watching who makes the game of golf look so easy, came to the fore and defeated another of his countrymen Larry Simpson, but only on count back. Scotsman Jim Cooper took third spot.
In Division 2 it was my old adversary Ken Brehm, another from across the pond, who rattled up the biggest score of the week of 40pts and a cut of two shots to his handicap. Next time I do battle with him I may now have more of a chance. Yet another American, John Baxter, was second and antipodean Derek Thorogood was third.
Div.1 (0-14)
1st Alan Thomas (5) 34pts
2nd Larry Simpson (10) 34pts
3rd Jim Cooper (13) 32pts
Div.2 (15+)
1st Ken Brehm (19) 40pts
2nd John Baxter (15) 36pts
3rd Derek Thorogood (16) 34pts
Saturday, Jan. 25, Eastern Star – Stableford
On Saturday it was back to Eastern Star and the Irish contingent finished off the week the same way they started it, on top. This time it was an Irish lady who showed it wasn’t only the men-folk who could win a golf competition. Joan Murphy got her penny whistle out and led all the guys home, well done Joan.
1st Joan Murphy (20) 35pts
2nd Liam Keegan (15) 34pts
3rd Rod Ewan (14) 33pts
