The fourth event of the 2015 August Sandbelt Seniors week was today played at the prestigious Royal Melbourne Golf Club. Gordon Claney (Kingston Heath) made another appearance at the lectern after outclassing the field of 100. Gordon managed to win on a countback from newcomer Mark Abeyarante (Peninsula-Kingswood) who both carded scores of three over 75.
Claney complemented the condition of the West Course and described the how not all his round went to plan.
“A bit up and down, even threw a double bogey in there” Claney mentioned.
In the nett, Rod Fraser (Monash, NSW) continued from his winning form at Victoria on Wednesday as he fired a nett score of 70 off his handicap of 7.
As per usual, the golf course was in tremendous condition which was expressed by all. Numerous players mentioned the pleasure of having access to one of the greatest courses in the world.
Rounding out the events will be Metropolitan & Commonwealth Senior Amateurs which are being played on Monday & Tuesday respectively. Minimal places are still available at both venues for those keen to play on the Melbourne Sandbelt.
