Division 1
Waratah GC and Toronto CC contested the Final – with Waratah prevailing in a closer contest than the scores might indicate.
A couple of early matches that swung Waratah’s way and finished on the 18th hole anchored the win – with honours shared amongst the other matches.
A close run thing but again – and for the 8th time in the past 10 years – Toronto found themselves on the wrong side of the scoresheet.
The Winners of this years A Grade Pennant Division 1 – Waratah GC are pictured below.
Division 2
Pacific Dunes and Muree contested the Final in Division 2. Both Teams were undefeated during the preliminary rounds and had previously drawn
their Round match.
Again, in a see-saw match which saw alternate matches won and lost – the result was again a Draw 4 to 4. Under the Rules – a player was selected
by each Team. Team Captains – Mat Dorney for Muree and Mark Rota for Pacific Dunes then played a sudden death playoff for the first
tee. Mat Dorney had a chance to win on the first playoff hole – then Mark Rota missed a short putt on the 2nd hole. A good tee shot
to the difficult par 3 third and a birdie putt saw Mark Rota and Pacific Dunes prevail and thus win this years A Grade Division 2 Pennant.
