The 2015 Oc Colley Cup was a mixed affair.
Intermittent showers and light rain greeted the B Grade players at Merewether GC and continued throughout the day.
The course held up well and 125 players took part in the event. As well as the Nett Event, the Oc Colley Cup, there were other events held in
conjunction. This included a scratch event for the B Grade District Champion and a Stableford event as well.
This year’s Oc Colley Cup winner was Neil Lembcke from Nelson Bay with a score of 69 – to win on a count back from Travis McShane from Newcastle GC. Local
member, Adam Wren finished third on 70 on a count back.
In the B Grade District Championship event, 84 was a popular score – with Jed Malone from Hawks Nest prevailing over John McDonald form Nelson Bay and
Al Phillips from Tanilba Bay in the 4 way count back. Last year’s champion, Lachlan Baber, formerly Shortland Waters but now Newcastle was the
4th player to have 84.
The Stableford event winner was 16 year old Junior Andrew Lange from Nelson Bay with 36 points on a count back from John Corbett, Nelson Bay and Fraser
Newcombe, Pacific Dunes.
The Lionel Clark Cup is a teams event and comprises 4 players from each club with the best 3 Nett scores to count. This years winning team was from
Nelson Bay with the excellent score of 210.

The C Grade Oc Colley Cup event at Tanilba Bay, unfortunately, had to be called off before players had even completed 9 holes.
Consistent rain with intermittent heavier showers left several greens flooded and unplayable. Initially, play was suspended for a minimum of 1 hour,
but it soon became apparent that the weather was not going to relent and play was called off.
All players that registered in the Pro Shop and paid their Entry Fee will be credited with having played in the Oc Colley Cup – for the purpose of qualifying
for the C Grade Pennants.
A partial refund of $15 for registered players will be arranged via the Clubs.
Reminder – The 2015 B and C Grade Pennant Series starts on Sunday September 20.
