2010 DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIPS – REPORT AND RESULTS

An exciting ACT-Monaro District Championship and Inter-club Team challenge was held at a lush Yass Golf Club on Sunday 21st November.  On a gloriously sunny day 66 district golfers played two full rounds of stroke play in two divisions – Division A with 40 golfers below a handicap of 13, and Division B with 26 golfers on handicaps between 13 and 20. Nine of the main district clubs were represented, but three of these only had 1 or 2 players.  Yass, not surprisingly, had the largest group with 17 players, but Yowani and Belconnen with 15 and 10 players respectively, also had good representation.  The total of 66 players is almost twice the size of the field that played last year at Gold Creek, so the DGA Executive is hoping that the event continues to grow in popularity.

Ben Magi, the sole representative from Federal, and current club champion, won both the A Grade Champion’s Trophy and the Champion-of-Champion’s Trophy with rounds of 70 and 66, for a total of 136.  David Armstrong (Gold Creek) was a close second on 137 with consistent rounds of 68 and 69; whilst Scott Fogg (Gold Creek) and Michael Pead (RCGC) shared 3rd place on 139.
Jordan Ayre, from Royal Canberra, who placed 8th overall with scores of 72 and 70, won the Junior Championship by 3 shots from Joshua Armstrong (Gold Creek) with rounds of 76 and 69.  Ryan Ruffels (RCGC) finished in 3rd place just one shot behind Joshua with contrasting rounds of 78 and 68.
The Senior Masters  Championship, for golfers aged over 50 years, was won by Yass golfer Paul Mathews (h/c 4) with rounds of 75 and 72, just 2 strokes better than Gold Creek Senior John Goldsworthy (h/c 8) who had rounds of 76 and 73.

The B Grade event was dominated by Yass and Yowani golfers.  The Championship was won by Yass golfer Graham Fleming, who plays off 13, with scores of 74 and 79 (total 153), who was four shots better than his nearest rival, Yowani’s Stephen Walker (also 13 h/c), with rounds of 81 and 76.

The success of the Teams Competition was somewhat hampered by lack of formal entries from golf clubs.  The Senior Masters and Junior Teams events were won by Belconnen and Yowani, respectively, as these were the only clubs to formally enter teams.  Both of them are unlikely to have won had others clubs submitted team entry forms naming some of their better players who were entered in the individual competition.   Yass would likely have won the Senior Masters Trophy, and Royal would have easily won the Junior Trophy.  Hopefully, club Captain’s will get their acts together and submit team forms, next year.

Belconnen and Yowani (the only 2 teams entered) fought out the B Grade Teams Event with Yowani winning by an 18-shot margin.

Four Teams – Belconnen, Gold Creek, Gungahlin Lakes and Yowani fought out the main A Grade Teams Competition.  Gold Creek’s four players of David Armstrong, Scott Fogg, John Goldsworthy and Scott Harris proved much too strong on the day and won the event by a clear 11 shots from Yowani’s team of Ross Armitage, Darren Blacklock, Matt Harrington and Matt Skipperdene.

ACT Trip to Cobram 2010

The ACT representative team went to Cobram last weekend for their annual clash with Victoria and then to participate in the Cobram Barooga Open.

The match against Victoria started on Friday morning with foursomes matchplay. One Victorian Colt failed to show giving that match to the ACT, but the only pair to win their match was Kacper Gancarz and Jackson Stuckey with a 1 up result. David Crawford and Ross McLoughlin lost their first 4 holes, but came back strongly to square their match.

The afternoon consisted of singles matchplay in which Victoria dominated winning all 14 matches. The highlight was Rory Bourke scoring birdies in his first 8 holes and then another one to finish his match on the 11th to win his match over Adam Robinson 9/7. The best of the ACT players were Allan Haughie and Ian Gibson, who led their matches for most of the day before failing towards the end with Gibson losing 2 down and Haughie 2/1. David Crawford was trailing all day but never let his opponent get away before going down 2/1. Most of the Colts lost their matches at the 16th hole.

Final result was an easy 18.5 to 2.5 win to Victoria. The difference between the teams was their preparation. Most of the Victorian squad are just about full time golfers, while the ACT team is part-time and regularly complete 2 competitive rounds in a day, whereas the ACT basically only do so twice a year – in this event and the District Championships.

For the next two days players competed in the 72 hole Cobram Barooga Open. Three ACT players finished in the top 20 behind the winner, Victorian squad member Nathan Holman from the Woodlands club who had 282 for the four rounds. The best ACT players were Allan Haughie and Matt Skiperdene (equal 15th) with 300 and Mick Gerstenberg (19th) with 301. Adam Robinson was just behind with 303. Among the Colts, Ben Burden and Jordan Ayre both started well with 151 and 150 respectively on the first day, before finding 6 rounds of golf in three days a little too much and finishing with 307 and 314.

ACT v Vic @ Cobram-Barooga 2009         

The Victorians sent a strong team to play against the ACT (Seniors & Colts (U/23)) with three of the top 40 in the Australian Men’s Ranking and three in the top 40 Australian Junior Rankings.

The Colts played extremely well against their more experienced opponents.  From three foursomes matches and six single matches, the ACT only suffered 1 loss with a further 3 ties.  The highlight being Steve Boden’s 3 and 2 victory over the second ranked Australian Junior and Kaspar Gancarz’ hole in one during his singles win.

The Senior’s had three wins from 8 matches in the singles and one from 4 in the foursomes.  The highlight being Mick Gerstenberg’s 3 and 1 win over the third ranked Australian amateur.

The overall result was a draw with 10.5 wins to each team, which is the ACT’s best result against Victoria in recent times.

Cobram-Barooga Open 2009

The Cobram-Barooga Open was held last weekend over 72 holes.  The winner was Victorian squad member, Ashley Umbers, with a 5 under par score of 283.  All members of the ACT Senior and Colts squad entered the tournament with a number of good results.  The best was Allan Haughie in 8th position with a 3 over 291.  Other good results were posted by Mick Gerstenberg in 12th with 293, Adam Robinson in 18th with 295 and Matt Skiperdene in 23rd with 296.  It was a good result by the ACT team, who are not used to playing 72 holes over 2 days and having already played 36 holes against Victoria the previous day.

CANBERRA GOLFERS PREVAIL IN 2008 ACT MONARO DGA SAND GREEN CHAMPIONSHIPS
Twenty six golfers contested the 2008 Sand Green Championships at Bombala over the w/e 13th -14th September 2008. Canberra Senior Golfer and ACT DGA Captain Tony Gover took the major prize of the Open Championship with steady rounds of 78 and 76 (total 154) on two contrasting days.  Saturday was warm and sunny and conditions were good for golf, Sunday blew a gale and the squally rain made golfing conditions quite testing.  Canberra Junior golfer Cameron Haines took 2nd place overall and also won the Junior Trophy, with scores of 84 and 75 (total of 159).  His prodigious driving was the main key to his success; when he masters the running-chip approach shot that is essential to play sand green courses he will be hard to beat. Three locals – T Gronow, Pepper Thompson and Korie Elton shared third place on 161.  Local Junior golfer Vince Moore (18h/c) decimated the competition in the handicap B Grade Division with startling nett scores of 67 and 63 (on the par 71 course); he beat the runner up J Ward by a hefty 11 strokes.  The Bombala handicapper is likely to be busy before next week’s Club Championships.
