Picturesque Mount Compass organizes day 2
The Australian Masters Games Golf program 2019 continued on Wednesday October 7 at the picturesque bushland course on Mount Compass, about 45 minutes south of the Adelaide CBD.
More than 100 players from the 59 different golf clubs from all over Australia signed up for the second StableFord competition of the week, in which gold, silver and bronze medals were awarded in nine separate age, gender and handicap categories.
On a beautiful and sunny South Australian day, but with a southern breeze that complicates scoring along the tree-lined fairways of Mount Compass, the score for best men was returned by Joshwood Phillips of Blackwood with a score of 37 points in the age category 30 -49. Judy Mather of the East Geelong Golf Club in Victoria achieved the best women's score with 33 points when winning the Ladies 70 and older group.
Other day 2 gold medal winners were:
– Women – 30-59 – Carol Warne (North Adelaide) – 32 points
– Ladies – 60-69 (A Grade) – Wendy Butler (Flagstaff Hill) – 32 points
– Ladies – 60-69 (B-class) – Lynn Thorley (East Geelong) – 29 points
– Men – 50-59 – Steven Geall (Curlewis) – 35 points
– Men – 60-69 (A Grade) – Shayne Ashton (Nowra) – 36 points
– Men's 60-69 (B-class) – Dennis Ashton (Nambucca Heads) – 35 points
– Men 70 years and older – Paul Sutcliffe (The vines of Reynella) – 35 points
Players will enjoy the sights, sounds and pleasures of Adelaide on Thursday before heading to the park-like setting of West Lakes Golf Club in the suburb of Bayside for Friday's final match day. The stroke event offers double medal opportunities with gross and net sections in all categories.
68-year-old Dennis Ashton also won gold in the opening stableford round in the Grange on Monday and is looking for a third gold medal to end a memorable week for the New South Welshman. With sunny weather, a beautiful final awaits.
