PSC Golf Bunker Boys at The Ranch
Closing out 2015 with another golfer of the month win – his fourth of the year – Geoff Parker is running out of space in his trophy cabinet. Jimmy Carr was right on his heels needing a second place or better finish to take the trophy but winded up just a tad short in third place. Tony Robbins, Tony Scambler, and Barry Murnin were all in the mix at different points during the month; but the trophy for December goes to Mr. Parker. Congratulations!
Monday, Dec. 28, Greenwood C & A – Medal
A perfect day for golf at the lovely Greenwood G.C. – blue skies, green fairways, and twenty-five Bunker Boys raring and roaring to go. Unfortunately, their roar turned to a whimper as only one player was able to play to or better his handicap.
Geoff Parker – Bunker Boys golfer of the month.
Colin Greig, playing with a sore back and at a track he doesn’t care much for, was the man of the day, posting a 71 net to win A-flight. His closest competitor, Jimmy Carr in B-flight, was only two points back posting a 73 net to win his division. From there, the scores quickly jumped to the high 70’s and low 80’s.
A-Flight
1st Colin Greig (10) net 71
2nd Geoff Parker (14) net 75
3rd Ben Denham (1) net 75
B-Flight
1st Jimmy Carr (18) net 73
2nd Mike Brett (20) net 75
3rd Dave Ashman (17) net 77

Wednesday, Dec. 30, Treasure Hill (yellow tees) – Stableford
This was the last round of 2015 and the golfer of the month title was on the line. The two contenders, Geoff Parker and Jimmy Carr, were in their favorite golf shirts and anxious to get on with it.
Geoff faltered badly and failed to score a single point leaving the door open for Jimmy who managed a third place finish and was initially thought to have won the award. Upon further review however it was discovered that Jimmy had needed a second or first place finish and, accordingly, Geoff took home the trophy without scoring a single point in the final round of the month.
Playing from the yellow tees at 6,400 yards, Treasure Hill is quite the challenge and it certainly got the best of the players today as the stableford average was a mere 27 points. Only one of the twenty-five players – Mike Brett – was able to play to or better his handicap. Mike has only been back in town for a few weeks but has certainly made his presence known, finishing in the dough in almost every outing.
A-Flight
1st Dave Ashman (17) 33pts
2nd Neil Jones (17) 31pts
3rd Steve Kilcoyne (18) 31pts
B-Flight
1st Mike Brett (20) 37pts
2nd Alex Kilcoyne (27s) 33pts
3rd Jimmy Carr (18) 31pts
Near Pins: Mike Brett, Colin Greig, Barry Murnin, Gerry Cooney
Friday, Jan. 1, Crystal Bay C & A – Medal
The first day of the new year saw a very small crowd of only seven hearty souls gathering at The Ranch for breakfast. The majority of the BB’s were nursing hangovers and hoping to be back on their feet for play on Monday.
Surprisingly, the ride up the motorway was as smooth as silk, and the course was nearly deserted. The track was in good nick, and the round was completed in a lot less than four hours.
1st Keith Hemmings (18) net 70
2nd Colin Greig (12) net 72
Near Pins: Colin Greig (2), Ken Elmore.
