Big field for memorial
By Max TURNER
ONE of the biggest fields for months competed in the Bernard Laverty memorial Stableford and Mystery four ball events at Macksville Country Club..
With fifteen players having a net par round of 36 or better, “big” Bob Lindsay had the best round with a net 41 to win the day and division 2.
Adam Ross finished runner-up in that division.
Mick Manning playing off a handicap of two, had a one under par round to win division 1 with Todd Bartlett runner-up. Since finishing 2025 with a hole in one, Todd has been playing consistently good golf.
After what he called a “shocker” on the ninth hole in the second nine from the back tee, Brock Klar had an eagle 3 on the par 5 18th hole. A computerised random matching of over 60 players selected Mick Manning and Todd Bartlett as the Mystery winners.
Nearest the pin winners were Rama Gennat (div 1) and Adam Ross (div 2).
Good fields have continued for the 247 Mid Week competition with Gary Clarke winning and Adam Ross runner-up.
