COREY Porter, 13, may have claimed the spotlight at Pakenham Golf Club last Saturday (see story page 1 sport) but about 160 players competed in the men’s par event – with Vjarn Du Priez coming in with +6 off a handicap of 26 to win.
The B Grade winner was Zac Clough with +6 (20) and the A Grade went to Tym Davey with +4 (6).
For obvious reasons the nearest the pin on the second hole went to young Corey but Wayne Caffyn took out the fifth hole, Brett Mottrom the eighth, Tym Davey the 14th and the 16th went to Noel Bonne. Second shot on the 16th hole went to Mick McManus.
The longest drives saw Kevin Booker win the A Grade, Grant McCullough the B Grade and Mark Stewart the C Grade.
Down the line ball winners were John Dickinson, Scott Irwin, Corey Porter and Nicholas McQualter +5, Ray Leonard, Shane Wilkinson, Steven Smith and Mark Woodbridge +4, Vince Del Nigro, Robert Bumbak, Charles Grieg, Peter Korteman, Clive Smith, Noel Bonne, Michael Popof, Stan Gilbert, Peter Buff, Mark Stewart and Robert Naismith +3, John Roberts, Gary Burgess, Robert Sandiford, Geoff Sullivan, Robin McCrae, Terry Tisdale and John Piggott +2 and Brad Beyers and Tom McDermott +1.
