The Grand Final of the Millicent Men’s Handicap Pairs was played on Sunday December 12 between Malcolm Wright, Sam Schofield, Peter Varcoe and Eddie Hann. Both teams won their way into the Grand Final after winning four rounds.
Varcoe’s team had to give Wright’s team a three shot start, with the handicap for players in each team added up and divided by two to give the overall handicap. Wright and Schofield started on 10 shots and Varcoe and Hann on seven shots.
The game was played over 12 ends and by the fourth end Varcoe and Hann were four shots up at 14 to 10. At the eighth end the score was 17 to Varcoe and Hann with Wright and Schofield on 16 shots.
However, on the 11th end, Wright’s team dropped five shots and could not recover in the last end, which gave Varcoe and Hann the title of Handicap Pairs Champions for the 2021/22 season.
