Round 4 Pennant

What a big round for the Quamby Golf Club. All three divisions got a win this week, and all took a step towards winning their respective Pennants. Almost every game in Div 3, 7 and 8 were won by the home team, the only upset was (Div 7) Quamby defeating Scottsdale away from home.

Division 3 Played Bridport at home this week. Bridport hadn’t lost a round and Quamby were desperate to keep their season alive. At the end of the day Quamby narrowly defeated Bridport 4/3. With that win Quamby stay in the hunt for the Pennant. The team was Corey deBruyn, Duane Morgan, Paul Martin, Matt Marston, John Murray, Matt Adams and Nic Bauld. The winners were Corey deBruyn, John Murray, Matt Marston and Matt Adams.

The other game in Div 3 was Greens Beach v Exeter. Greens Beach won 5/2

Division 7 played Scottsdale away from home. The team was Colin Butterworth, Steve Lovegrove, Anthony Burrows, Denis Lockwood, Dan Scott, Justin Ryan and Mitchell Britton-Thomas. This game had a lot at stack. Who ever won would have the best chance to win the Pennant. We went into the round with an unchanged team and confidence. At the end of the day the round was decided by one game, both sides had three wins with one game still going. Anthony Burrows held his nerve and won the day for Quamby on the first play-off hole. This was the first time he played under this much pressure and he came through it very well! The winners were Steve Lovegrove, Anthony Burrows, Daniel Scott and Justin Ryan.

With this wonderful result we have our destiny in our own hands. Win the next two rounds and we have the Pennant won!

The other game in Div 7 was Tam O’Shanter v Mowbray. Tam O’Shanter won 7/0

Division 8 played Launceston at home this week. They went into this match looking to continue the clubs home course dominance. The team was Don Mackie, Stephen Clarke, Glen Duncan, Leon Towns, John Cullen, Scott Limbrick and Neil Chenhall. The team had a huge win against Launceston! With this win they move into a position to win the Pennant this year.

The other game in Div 8 was Bridport v Exeter. Bridport won 6/1


The Ladders after round 3

Div 3
Heading into the mid season break Briport holds the ladder lead. Quamby evened up the score with their second win and Greens Beach joined Bridport with three wins. The next round after the break will see Greens Beach host Bridport in what will be a very big game. If Bridport win they will probably win the Pennant. The best result for Quamby is for Greens Beach to win at home. Quamby will need to win their last two rounds to have any chance of winning the Pennant.

Bridport 3-1 18/10
Greens Beach 3-1 16/12
Quamby 2-2 16/12
Exeter 0-4 6/23


Div 7
A big win by Quamby over Scottsdale has us sitting a full game clear on top of the table. We have our last home game after the break against Mowbray. We need to win this game! Win it and we will be one step closer to winning the Pennant. With Mowbrays loss on the weekend that leaves only Quamby and Scottsdale with the best chances to win this year. The perfect result for Quamby would be for Tam O’Shanter to beat Scottsdale and Quamby to beat Mowbray. That would seal up the Pennant but, it probably won’t happen that way. We will need to win both our games to make sure we win the Pennant.

Quamby 3-1 18/10
Scottsdale 2-2 16/12
Mowbray 2-2 9/19
Tam O'Shanter 1-3 13/15


Div 8
This week Quamby has fought their way off the bottom of the ladder into a position to win the Pennant after the last two rounds. They had a huge 7/0 win over then ladder leaders Launceston. Each round has seen the home team win. If this trend continues in round five, that will leave Quamby the chance to win this year. They will have the chance to win at Bridport and doing that should win the Pennant. We’ll see what happens in the coming weeks.

Bridport 2-2 17/11
Quamby 2-2 16/12
Launceston 2-2 12/16
Exeter 2-2 11/17


Undefeated players
The number of undefeated players has shrunk. They are John Cullen and Glen Duncan. However, John Cullen isn’t able to play any other rounds this year so Glen Duncan has the best chance to remain undefeated this year.

We also have some players that are undefeated for one or two matches. They are John Murray for two rounds and Adam Pawson, Peter Gardner, Glenn Summers and Andy Barnes.

Congratulations to Don Mackie, Stephen Clarke and Leon Towns for getting their first wins for the club.


It’s fantastic that all our teams have a chance to win Pennants this year. Best of luck to all our teams in the next round!!
