Lambeg dealt a pair of aces as duo both hole out at 16

Tommy Coulter and Stephen Johnston who both scored a hole-in one at the 16th in the same competition, The Wednesday Hat, a week apart.

However, it happened twice within a week at Lambeg when both Stephen Johnston and Tommy Coulter recorded an ace at the par three 16th.

Stephen was first to achieve the feat, holing out in the Wednesday Hat and seven days later, Tommy did just the same thing.

They certainly were profitable shots as both players will receive a Boss watch for their achievement.

Saturday Competition

This week’s competition was sponsored by Eastwood Estate Agents and was won by Warren McGardle (21) with a magnificent score of 45 pts.

Warren got off to a terrible start with double bogies at the first and third but a good steady run in the middle of the front nine to include three pars and a birdie retrieved the situation.

The only blip in the back nine was a double bogie at the stroke index one but there was little damage as this still scored him a point. He finished strong to accumalate his 45pts and the winning score.

One shot behind was the ever steady Gary Scott (12). Gary scored a fantastic birdie at the third hole, which is the second hardest on the course and followed it up with another birdie at the fourth.

He scored a two further birdies at the two par three holes 14 and 16 in the back nine but the double bogies at nine and 15 made the difference.

Chris Maguire (16) finished third with 43 pts along with Garth Alexander (10) but it was Chris who took the prize after the count-back.

Chris got off to an unbelievable start with a no score at the first, a birdie at the second and double bogie at the third.

He steadied up after this and the rest of his round included 10 pars.

Garth’s round included no less than 12 pars but with his low handicap he lost when he scored single bogies on the last two holes.

Ivor Harron (6) won the Best Gross.

Seniors

Sam Thompson (23) came away with both the Seniors Cup (Over 50) and The Veterans Cup (Over 65) with a well executed 42pts.

With his 23 handicap, he scored high with five pars and a brilliant birdie at the sixth. Ritchie Gorman (18) finished runner-up for the third year in a row and boy does he regret the two shot penalty on the ninth for playing the wrong ball.

Tommy Coulter won the Visitors prize with an impressive 44 pts.
