Templeton - Presidents Grade Champions

The final round of Presidents Grade Interclub was held at Bottle Lake Golf Club recently in warm, calm autumn conditions with the course in great order.

The Champion Templeton team of, from left Paul Prendergast, Richard Hampton, John Hampton, Mark O Connor, Wayne Huddy, Tony Pupich, Murray Huddy, John Sykes and Lex Franklin were in control from the start of the competition getting away to a flying start winning their first ten matches and setting up what appeared to be an unasailable lead, however this was put to test as Templeton finished winless over the final three rounds. They were tied on 20 points at the top of the table but still had just enough in the tank to beat last year's Champions McLeans Island who finished strongly, winning their last 9 matches but couldn't quite peg back Templeton who had a superior individual games total of 69 to McLeans Island's 57.

The Presidents Grade MVP Trophy was again very hotly contested and was in the balance right up to the final round, but it was McLeans Island's Ian McCall who triumphed with 10 wins, 1 half and 2 losses over the 13 round competition.
