The Mount Gambier Golf Club hosted a large field of 125 players recently, with Keith Couzner taking the $100 winners prize with an excellent 44 points.

His score was built around front and back nines of 21 and 23 points, with the highlight being from the 8th to the 14th holes that he played in just two over the card and a full eight strokes better than his handicap.

In second place and also managing to break the 40 point barrier was Grant Stephenson on 41 points with Peter Edwards Carey Megaw and Garry McCormack all a further point back on 40.

John Sandery and Tim Maclean had 39 points with Russel Lewis, Mike Griffiths, Blake Schroder, Chris Hoggan and John Gee all having 38 points.

Nearest the pins belonged to Brad Von Duve on the eighth and Lyndsay Copeman on the 16th with only Von Duve able to roll his putt in for a birdie.

The last Saturday of the year saw a teams competition with players in pairs and multiplying their stableford scores together.

A total of 56 pairs took part with the Millhouse and Knowles combination claiming first place with 87 points.

Bilney and Mann were second on 85 with Rees and Broome taking third with 81 points.

The ball rundown extended to teams with 66 or better with the Lewis and Dixon team taking the last one.

Nearest the pins belonged to Peter Waters on the 8th and Mitchell Broome on the 16th but unfortunately neither player was able to make their putt for a birdie two.
