Individual Stableford and 2B Medley and Shore Strokeplay Round 2 | 15 June 2024
Last weekend, the Shore golf team competed in the Stableford competition. With most sport being cancelled due to yet another wet Saturday, we were lucky to play, and there were some good results in the team. Luke Ellis and Ollie Graham came 1st and 2nd place, respectively, in C grade, and Luke Ellis came 4th in the overall competition, taking home a $30 prize for his efforts. In terms of the nearest the pin competition, the Shore team dominated the leaderboard, with Christian Liu and Zach France both winning a $8 prize. Christian Liu also came within a whisper of achieving a hole-in-one on the 15th, impressing all his teammates.

Shore Strokeplay Championship
The second round was played in conjunction with the club competition. With all four contenders within 2 shots at the start and all playing off single-figure handicaps, it promised to be an exciting day. Luckily, the rain held off apart from a brief shower on the 15th. The start saw a few nerves, but everyone settled down and some great golf was played. By the 5th only 1 shot separated the field. But one by one, the boys played one or two bad holes with the exception of reigning champion Zach France. Zach was steady rather than spectacular, but by the time he birdied the par 5 13th he had a 9 shot lead and wasn’t going to be hauled in. He closed it out for an 11 shot victory over 2nd place Lachlan Kwan, with Angus Pearce and Cameron Newton finishing 3rd and 4th, respectively. Congratulations to Zach, who is starting to make this his event.
