Golf 4 Ball BAM

Golf Notes

Conditions were ideal Saturday with a backdrop of autumn undertones as players contested a 4 Ball BAM for a trophy donated by Will Sedgwick and Peter Simpson.  

The event is played in pairs where on holes 1-6 they record only the best score of their stableford scores whilst on holes 7-12 they record the aggregate of their stableford scores and on the last six holes 13-18 they multiply their stableford scores. The BAM has grown in popularity amongst players although friendships can be tested. 

The overall trophy winners after a three way countback were Peter Simpson and Keith Akers with 64 points. Balls went to joint runners up, the father and son pairing of Andrew and Tom Mellor 64 points and Paul Grigg and Sam Faint also 64 points. Kerrie Smith and Ian Cabot on 63 also won a ball. NTP went to Des Kelaher on the 12th. 

On Sunday Barraba hosted its annual Barraba Ladies Open Fourball. The overall scratch winners were Lesley Jefferies and Carey Larksworthy from Tamworth with a scratch score of 28 points, four shots ahead of runners up Pru Newbury and Di Brown from Glen Innes. Net winners for the day with 49 points were Jill Burnell and Alison Cameron from Walcha with Liz Jones and Karen Davis from Boggabri runners up on 47 points.

Front nine winners with 25 points were Di Etheridge Barraba and Jane Armitage Bingara whilst back nine winners with 22 points were Vicki Betts and Vicki Tjanavaras from Tamworth.
