On Sunday our Club Champions travelled to Mareeba to contest the regional Champion of Champions. Peter Chrisfield continued his run of good form taking out the men’s A Grade. Chrisfield sealed the win with a birdie on the 18th to win by a shot.

Lyn Heimann also flew the flag for Mossman winning the ladies Division Two with another brilliant round of golf. Leonnie Phillips couldn’t quite get across the line but finished a respectable second place in Division Three for the ladies.

Earlier last week the Tuesday men played a Stableford competition. Brett Jurie won Division One with 42 points ahead of Ralf Middel on 41 points. Michael Gabour hit top form scoring 44 points to win Division Two by a shot to Bob Slade on 43 points.

Nearest the pins were Mal Phillips on 6, Ian Prewett on 8, Warrick Bourguignon on 10, C Southern on 13 and Kerry Johnstone on 17.

Helen made it a Gabour double for the week winning the Thursday ladies with 43 points ahead of Lorraine Skinner on 39 points. Maxine Leigh won nearest the pin on 6 and Kerri Williams won 13.

The Saturday players took a break from singles competition and joined up for a Two Ball Ambrose. Bruce Cheesman and Wayne Dowell were awarded the win for the event while Geoff Goodwin and Ian Prewett claimed second place.
