Kym Nelson is in rare form at the moment, this time winning the stroke round for the day, is also being the second qualifying round of the championships.
Kym, who now leads the B Grade qualifiers, finished with a nett 70 after a 86 off the stick, to be the overall winner on the day.
The nett winners in each grade were Brenton Roberts in A Grade with 74, from Sean Naylon on 75, Sean Walsh, so far right up with the B Grade top championship qualifiers, winning that grade with 71 from Jamie McPhee 73 and in C Grade it was John Lee, also leading the C Grade championship qualifiers, having a nett 72, to beat Gary Beasley with a nett 75.
Saturday was certainly the best weather wise for quite some time, sunny and warm but there were still plenty of wayward shots, as centuries were quite common in the B and C Grades.
Eric March made it two centuries in a row, mainly due to his effort on the seventh as he found himself having five off the tee and still not making the creek.
He then said he hit every tree he could find before finishing with 14 for the hole.
Along with other animal species, there must have been a Moose herd on the course, with several players selecting from them to pick up ten on a hole, the seventh causing problems for Bob Wood and Andrew Smith, as they came in with ten and it is believed that Phil Perrin was around the ten mark after his second shot on the sixteenth (the seventh first time around) tried to go over the trees and over the dam to try and lob near the green.
Unfortunately he didn't clear the trees at the back of the dam, then played a provisional shot, this time getting over the trees and the dam but finding the trees on the other side of the dam to lose that ball, trudging back to where he thought his second hit went went to chip out on the fourteenth fairway and attack the green from there.
Phil however was quite helpful towards playing partner Andrew Hentschke on the second hole, as Andrew's tee shot went over the trees and over the first fairway in the rough by the big tree about fifty meters from the first tee.
Andrew, always good at correcting his wayward tee shots, then proceeded to hit the ball over the tress around the second green, land on it, hit Phil's ball and stop about two feet from the hole and pick up a birdie.
Kingsley Handke was counting his balls on the fourteenth when partner Perry Jones blasted his ball into a tree to see the ball flying back and hit Kingsley and go between his legs, the latter looking to see if it was the golf ball that was behind him.
Speaking of limping golfers, Gordon Robson was seen limping after his round and when asked why said he was faking injuries so he doesn't have to do house work.
Gordon doesn't often do as he is told but when teeing off on the tenth was jokingly told buy partner Nobby to land along side the 150 marker, which Gordon duly did, unfortunately he hit the marker leaving him with a sideways shot first before he had a clean shot at the green.
It sounded like a boomerang when Mark Lynn on the eighth managed to get his club to go about thirty meters, just a bit further than the ball went.
Berties effort on the eighth was a lot better, when his tee shot landed on, saying it was closer than Andrew Hentschke's shot the Saturday before, a half inch closer to a hole in one at five and half inches from the hole.
Tim Formby apparently asked son Michael if his car was unlocked to which the reply was no, so Simon led the way to set off his remote system to unlock it but by the time Tim dawdled to the car the time lapse saw it automatically lock up again, Tim complaining that he had played golf at the course for fifty years and that he had never locked his car, probably never had 100 off the stick, like last Sautrday, in that time as well.
Last chance for championship placings
The final placing for the championships will be decided in this Saturday's stroke round sponsored by Frank Clennett, which will also count towards the Rayner Trophy, Elecctic and Putting competitions and the Formby Shield.
With the best two qualifying rounds of the championships to count towards being in the first eight who will qualify, there is still a chance for those who have had a bad round or have a good score having played one round to still get into the play offs.
Don't forget the Calcutta for the championships this Saturday night from 6:30pm onwards.
