Brenton Welk burns up the golf course

Last Saturday, the Strathalbyn Golf Club held a stableford competition which provided a clear winner in a field of 43, in Brenton Welk accumulating 42 points.

Brenton probably not playing as often as he would like, has shown a bit of form as of late.

Last Saturday, he fired up early with a par on the first hole, and despite not hitting that well off the tee blocks, scored 19 points on the front nine.

One the back nine, Brenton pulled out something extra, able to par six holes for another 23 points.

Brenton was four points clear of his nearest rivals, with lots of good scores on the day.

Randall Pitt who won A Grade, having 38, Gary Beasley, in his best effort so far, getting 38 in B Grade and Rob Lyon is surely set to move up from C Grade soon with 38 points as well. Troy Williams also having 38 in that game.

Some A Grade players certainly had a few wild shots, amongst a group of them, particularly when they tackled the 12th hole.

Andrew Hentschke must have spotted a familiar white cart which he loves to hit.

It parked on the edge of the 8th-17th green, so his tee shot just missed it finishing next to the marker sign on the left hand side of the 18th fairway.

Partner, Graeme Bertholini's tee shot finished out in the middle of the 18th fairway and the other player in the group, Phil Perrin just to be difficult, was out of sight from those two with his tee shot going over onto the 11th fairway.

When Andrew was asked why they were all over the place, his response was that they all tee off together and then all meet up on the green again, so they don't have any arguments.

John Williams had a bit of trouble with his putting and could have finished with a lot more than 33, with at least four putts not quite getting there.

Brian Simpson was bragging how he didn't have three putts on any holes, but he made up for that for being all over the place off the tee and on the fairway for just 29 points.

Bob Wood was trying to claim nearest the pin on the 17th hole, just two feet away.

Unfortunately he had teed off on the 18th poorly and then his next shot found a tree for the ball to bounce off it and finish on the 17th green.

Mick Rigby started off with a great drive on the first, getting the ball around the corner and half way down the slope to the first green.

Rigas proceeded to lodge his second shot in a grove on the bank of the drain, just short of the green.

He then thought he was cleaver enough to get out of trouble so went for another hit, only to bury the ball further into the bank before giving up and moving onto the next hole.

Max Schebella was doing a bit of grizzling not because he only came in with 27 points, but because he had a bit of trouble on the Wednesday getting enough room from the cart next to him in the shed for a clean exit.

Ashley Gibson proudly accepted the NAGA Award with just 19 points.

While Don Bell picked up the meat tray, Troy Williams had his card drawn out for a go at the lucky putt, walking off the green with the jackpot poll of $100.

This Saturday is a stroke competition, the last qualifying round of the Summer Cup.
