THE final round of the Summer Cup began at Emerald Golf Club, with Steve Town leading by half the straight from Ross Martin and Mark Starick.
By the end of play, with the three protagonists playing together, places were unchanged.
Town (14) was -2 to finish with a three-week total of +13 followed by Martin (10) +9 and Starick (12) one back on +8.
The ladies’ Summer Cup was a battle in two, with Benita Balfour standing firm to lead in Brianna McCoy by three points to hold the cup aloft.
The daily competition saw captain Dean Shannon (18) steal a march on the rest with +4 to also head up the B Grade rabble.
Mike Litchfield (12) led in the A Graders when he won on a countback from Broc Reynolds (13) when they both carded +2.
Ian Cranston, Dave Mackey and Ian Scott all carded +3 to be the best of the stragglers.
Litchfield was nearest the pin on the 4th, Martin the 12th, Allan Ecclestone the 13th and Jeff Marsh played a couple of ripper shots to take the gongs on the 7th and the pro pin 18th.
Wednesday’s Overly Flat Golf (OFG) was a stroke event that obviously suited Bobby Kennedy (23) as he had a nett 62 to just head off Leigh Morison (18) and Ken Hill (18) who both had 63, followed by Moss Fuller (21) with 67 and Peter Clowes (17) on 68.
Next Saturday is a stroke event for the March VGL monthly medal.
