Phillip Island Golf Week Wrap-Up
Golf Week at Phillip Island continued with Wednesday providing a well-earned rest day — at least for some. A group of 12 players ventured out to Red Rock Park 3 in Cowes for a casual 9 holes, while others enjoyed a visit to the Phillip Island Winery, explored the shops, or simply relaxed at the beach.
Thursday saw 31 players front up at the Phillip Island Golf Course for the final round. Unfortunately, the week finished in challenging conditions, with rain and cold weather making play difficult. Despite the tough conditions, two players managed to break 30 points.
Best on the day was Bob Glenister with 34 points, narrowly edging out Gary Pollard on 33. Local and past Yea champion Adrianne Anglin finished third with 29 points, followed by Margie Wright with 27.
The 4BBB event was a tight contest, with Bob Glenister and John Renehan combining well to score 40 points and claim victory on a countback from Gary Pollard and Chris Keogh. The deteriorating weather took its toll, with seven players withdrawing after completing between 9 and 15 holes.
The Overall Champion title was closely fought, with Gary Pollard finishing on top with an impressive total of 95 Stableford points across the three rounds, just one point clear of Bob Glenister on 94. Jeff Aurisch placed third with 89, followed by Phil Armstrong on 88. Equal fifth were Di Elliott and Margie Wright with 86 points. The Cross-Country Cart Driver Award went to Phil Armstrong.
Back at Yea on Wednesday, the “Stay at Home” event saw Glenn Walsh take the honours with 35 points, ahead of Jeff Moss on 32. Kevin Coghlan claimed the Club Award.
Saturday’s Mixed Stableford at Yea saw Phil Armstrong continue his strong form, winning with 32 points from Jeff Moss on 31 (countback), with Clinton Rose third. Peter Johnston finished fourth with 30 points, while Kevin Coghlan once again took out the Club Award.
