www.spec.com.au Spectator Sport WAYNE HATHERELL BUNKER SHOTS IT was a beautiful winter’s day that faced the 54 golfers who made up the 17 teams participating in round one of the Rountree/ Hyslop cup last Saturday. High scores for the 4BBB par round were recorded, which makes the second and final round, to be played in the coming weeks, quite intriguing. Outright winners on a count back were the combination of John Warden and Ian McLean, who finished eight up – a top score in the tough conditions and pin placing were difficult on some greens. Runners-up were Rob Stagoll, who is in top form at the moment, and his partner Paul Heyne. The second-placed pair finished eight up for the round as well; eight up after nine holes but failing to gain anymore on the second nine. Better scores came from the Jim King and John Raymond combina- tion that was great to watch in action. King was on fire in the early stages of the round, hitting the greens in regulation on countless occasions and was well backed up by Raymond when King’s game came to a halt later in the round. The pair finished at six up. The strong team of Cameron McDonald and Russell Sherren finished at five up along with Ben Kelson and Rick O’Connell, and Don Riddle and the B grade champion Wes Hall. The ladies played a par round and the winner was Kerryn Price at minus two, with Cate McDonald the runner up at minus three. Nearest the pins were won by Paul Ryan and Kerryn Price on the third green, King on the sixth, which was a money shot for his team and a birdie as well. Everyone failed on the 13th and Peter Downs, along with Kerryn Price, won the 16th green. It was good to see Downs back on the course for a visit, as he now resides in Adelaide. Bill Richards was the winner of the Techwool Trading prize on the 15th green, being the nearest with his second shot to the pin. Today the men and women will play a round of stableford and let’s hope the weather is as good as last week. Women’s golf continued on Wednesday morning and 31 players took out cards with conditions being rated as mostly fine for the par event. The ladies found the going tough to score with the best result being Marg Lyon, who finished with a par round of square with the card. Better scores were three players on minus three and they were Lou Cameron, Di Raymond and Rhonda Scullion. Sue Walter finished at minus two and Tanya Cullinane, Kerryn Price and Jo Forsyth all finished with minus three. Nearest the pins belonged to Judy Thornton on the third green, Jo Forsyth on the sixth while the 16th was won by Tania Cullinane. Liz Nichol was the winner of the longest putt on the ninth green and the winner on the 13th for her longest putt was Lou Cameron. The best player with her second shot to the 15th green to win the Techwool Trading prize was won by Vicki Scullion. The Graham Torbet Memorial prize for the round was won by Deb Pinniger. The conditions were very wild on Tuesday morning with the beginners taking out cards for their round of nine holes; the winner was Nicole Larter on 14 points, Gen Gleeson, Yvonne Brewis and Stella Boots all recording 12 points. August 1 will be the 27-hole and 18-hole events for both men and women, these include scratch and SPORTS WRAP RESULTS of the Hamilton Golf Club women’s par event, played in mostly fine conditions on Wednesday.

Warrnambool Vikings 3.28 d Tarrone 2.7 Table Tennis – Orford & District ROSE Hoy showed her improvement for the year when she defeated Tarrone’s David Warhurst in a four-game rubber. Hoy joined Roger Learmonth in winning their three rubbers for the night. St Helens 8.28 d Yambuk Blues 3.13 DON’T be taken in by the score line; this was a hard fought night but Yambuk Blues couldn’t take the final points. Seven rubbers went into the fourth game while another went to five games and a number of games were 12/10, 13/11. Aaron and David Rowbottom (St Helens) won their three rubbers for the night. Ladder after round 13. St Helens 52-117-374; Warrnambool Vikings 32-78-276; Yambuk Blues 24-54-199; Attunga 20-70-239; Yambuk Buffaloes 20-65-207; Tarrone 8-43-170. Week 14 preview Attunga v Yambuk Blues IF Attunga wins it takes the Blues’ third spot; if Blues win they open up a break with a week left to play. Attunga has won both encounters this year and Nightowl feels it will have the wood over Yambuk Blues. Warrnambool Vikings v St Helens ST Helens doesn’t hold top spot for nothing. A good workout from the Vikings might just do St Helens good before the finals, but it will still bring home the points. Tarrone v Yambuk Buffaloes EACH of these teams have won a night this year. The scores show that the winner between Tarrone’s David Warhurst and Buffaloes young gun Joey Sinnott influence the night’s winner. Buffaloes need to win this to have any chance of slipping into fourth. Flip a coin you might just have the winner.

The entries closed on Friday but for any latecomers could make it if you get in touch with the golf captain, Mal Groves this weekend at the latest. This should be a great day’s golf and no doubt the area will support the Western District Golf Association, as they have put this event on for the many players of the clubs involved in the local association. To all players who are looking for a game at many of the clubs in the district, check out the fixtures as there are many who are playing their annual tournaments at the moment and they would love to have the support of visiting golfers from around this district. To the many golfers who play each week, stay out of the bunkers – they are nasty this time of year and enjoy walking the fairways even if the shots aren’t going where they are supposed too.
