Mexican trickster, Lee Trevino has apparently been struck by lightening more than once while playing golf. Now he says, he always carries a one iron, because even God cannot hit a one iron.

Although four rounds can be a bit of a trial particularly when every stroke has to be played and counted, the efforts of the greenstaff are far more taxing. Les Munday and Luke Staunton did a great job and we thank them sincerely.

Patrick Martin is the 2009 Club Champion. His worse round was 82 and his best, 80 for a total of 325. He played the final round with 2007 champion, Rod Coady and this year's B grade winner, Brendon Heycox. Both Pat and Brendon shot 80 for the round while Rod's game faded with the disappearance of the fair weather.

Pat is the first junior for 18 years to win the championship. Although an individual achievement it is necessary to acknowledge the collective efforts of pat's family, particularly President Rob, Leigh Hunter and god father Donny. Behind every "junior" success, in anything, is a network of willing adults.

Bouncer Heycox went into the final round with a stranglehold on B grade and cruised to the win with a great final round. C grade was a lot more competitive!

Smiley Richards, Burglar Don and Massie Ferguson teed off in contention for the C grade win. Don and Keith's experience, with some help from thunderclap and lightening strike, put an end to Smiley's challenge.

Keith Ferguson and Don Burke settled down to an ebb and flow affair until Massie's clutch dropped out on the last hole. Don Burke's score of 373 was enough to win by one.

Keith left the club in disbelief at his attempt to play the final hole! Donny has many tips for the hopeful golfer. Always hope that today's game is better than yesterday's, but if it isn't, it doesn't matter. He also rarely mishits a ball, misses a fairway, three putts or lets his ego get in the way of sensible decision making.
