Sunday Par Event
Peter Courts may have been taking notes from John Senden (day 3 leader in the Australian Open with a 3rd round 9 under par) as he cruised home to win in last Sundays Par event. Peter was 6 holes clear of the field with an awesome score of +11. Peter claimed an excellent trophy provided by Adam Boxsell. 6 shots behind, Lachlan Bill and Russell Lieschke recorded +5, while Greg Hosking (+4), Tony Clewett (+4) and Kevin Peterson (+3) may have ordinarily had hopes of a close win, but, in reality, were dreaming. Josh Whittaker counterbalanced Peters astounding win with a -12 score top convincingly secure the special ball.
Roger Holgate won the progressive cometition with +16, while Eddie Hawkins (The other Eddie) and Josh Whittaker won the nearest to the pin prizes on the 7th and 12th holes. In the Cock O The Walk comp, Tracker and Stewart (The Toranas) Tahana, defeated Charlie McDonald and Josh Whittaker by a handy margin. They were lucky.

Ultimately, Bryson Plumb was the victor with an excellent score of 29 points (equivalent to 41 points on golflink) outscoring Ray Waters on 28. Junior Grant Mooney (26), Bryson (again on 26 points), Di Schmitt, lady (25 points), Eddie Hawkins, veteran (25 points) and Lachlan Bill, junior (25 points) made up the ball rundown.

Two Person Ambrose Copmpetition
The Early Birds held a 2 person ambrose competition last Sunday as relief from the dramas of last weeks Major Championships. Players were relaxed and, apart from your scribe, enjoyed the opportunity to play golf without pressure. For some, however it is still a struggle. Your scribe is still coming to terms with the fact that, despite playing with a (very talented) lady partner, he was lucky to achieve the six tee shots required for the round. As we learn, length is not the most important thing, it is how you use it.
In the end, Lindsay (Life's Good) Gegg and Marty Weise were the victors with a nett 59 strokes. Marty is always a handy Ambrose partner and his short game and putting were well tuned for the day. Lindsay, as always, went with the flow and played to his strengths for an excellent win. Three quarters of a shot behind, Andrew Kadwell and Steve McCrorey recorded 59.75 while A graders John Smith and Scott Nolan (the A grade nett and gross winners from the championships) disappointed observers with a third place, nett 60. Russell Schmitt and Alan Bill, out early with 61.5 also made the ball rundown along with the "Department of Education", Russell Lieschke and Eddie Hawkins on 61.75 in a 3 card countback.
Eddie Sivell did not have to wait long to win the nearest to the pin on the 2nd hole, although he did have to wait later, while Roger Holgate was nearest on the 14th hole. Marty Weise topped off an excellent day out by winning the raffle and taking home a dozen of Srixons or Carlton Uniteds finest.
The Cock O' The Walk competition resumes in next weeks par event with Charlie McDonald and partner challenging Nathan Rumble and Mick Simpson. On current form, Rumbos and Simmo are odds on favourites unless Charlie can outbid James Packer for a round with Tiger Woods. Even then...
The clubs Gala Day is to be held on Sunday, December 11th with all financial members welcome. The format for the day is yet to be decided, but rumour has it that a treasure hunt could be on the cards.
The Friday Chook Run is once again up an running, with social and handicap golfers all welcome. Cost is $7 and the round can be played any time on Friday. Please use the honesty box if the clubhouse is unattended.
At the last committee meeting, it was decided that the Sunday Competition would become the Weekend Competition. Players are able to compete in the Weekend Competition on either (or both) Saturday and Sunday. Play is open all day Saturday and should be completed by means of the honesty box in front of the clubhouse. Of course, cards must be marked, and comp fees paid in advance.

Tully Park Major Championships 2011
Major Championships are always the highlight of the Tully Park calendar. Winners can have their name preserved for prosperity or, unlike your scribe, the finest form can desert at the pivotal moment. A fantastic turnout of Tully Park members contested the 2011 Major Championships and a select few secured lasting glory. World famous golfer Brett Ogle is among the names that adorn the Tully Park honour boards as well as greats such as Bruce Devlin, Steve Elkington and Jack Newton. To win any championship at Tully Park earns a place in history.
But back to 2011. This years championships were fiercely contested in all grades, including a playoff for the B Grade Champion. Alan Bill was the D Grade Champion with afantastic score of (93, 101,102,97) 393 for the 72 hole stroke competition. Winning the C Grade Championship, Tully Parks best dressed golfer, Tim James, was 28 shots clear over Andrew Kadwell who took out the C Grade Nett prize. B Grade was the story of the championships. After 4 rounds, 72 holes and 349 strokes, Mick Harris and Russell Schmitt found themselves tied for the B Grade Champions title. Russell, as usual had been out early in the first group and had completed his round in (probably) less than 2 hours. Mick, meanwhile was savouring his good form, finishing his round some 3 hours later. PLAYOFF! In an exciting 3 hole play off Russell Schmitt claimed the B Grade title with a par on the 3rd playoff hole. In A Grade, Scott Nolan backed up his Tully Park Open Championship of last month, becoming clun (A Grade Champion) for 2011 with a score of 290. Scott was 10 shots clear of young Josh Whittaker (who will feature in coming years) and 20 shots clear of John Smith on 310. Scott shot a course record of 69 in his final round.
So to our champions.
A Grade: Scott Nolan 290 Gross, John Smith 264 Nett
B Grade: Russell Schmitt 349 Gross, Roger Holgate 283 Nett
C Grade: Tim James 351 Gross, Andrew Kadwell 291 Nett
D Grade: Alan Bill 393 Gross
The Rocky Harris Memorial Shield for the overall best nett score went to John Smith, the first time for many years that an A Grade player has won for many years.
It must be said that these championships were played in the best conditions for many years, due to the dedicated work of Greg Hosking and his volunteer crew. The greens and fairways continue to improve under his stewardship and rival those of many higher rated golf courses. Those excellent conditions had no effect on your scribes play throughout the championships as he explored every hidden corner of despair available at Tully Park Golf Club, on his way to his first ever special ball. Such is golf.
Your scribe is, however, somewhat of a trivia buff, and is inviting all and sundry to a Prawn and Chicken Trivia Night top be held at the Tully Park Clubhouse on Friday December 2nd. Excellent prizes and a world of fun are on offer along with the traditional Tully Park hospitality. Tables of 8 people may be booked at a cost of $25 per person. Payment is required to secure your seat, with a maximum of 80 seats available.
