Gary Hurley
Competing in the Australian Mens Amateur Golf Championship our own Gary Hurley has done himself proud finishing 30th overall in a world class field of amateur golfers. Gary lost out in the second round to Germany’s Marcel Schneider who eventually went on to become the outright winner of the competition. Gary will now move on to the Lake Macquarie Amateur Championship which takes place at Belmont Golf Club in Sydney and involves four rounds of stroke-play from 326th top 29th January. Well done Gary, we are watching your progress.
Comeragh Oil Winter League 2012
On Sunday last Round 2 of our winter league finished as it started in brilliant sunshine. Once again all captains got their teams out with many availing of the re entry system in a bid to boost thei team’s scores. On the team leaderboard Noel Conway nudged Richie Hurley from top spot with a lot of reshuffling going on right through the team leaderboard. On the bottom end all six teams are putting in a mighty effort to avoid relegation and with the transfer window now closed we are sure to see some more positional changes following round 3. Round 3 will run from Monday 23rd January to Sunday 29th january and pending favourable weather conditions it is envisaged to have this round complete within one week. It is vital that all tee times are booked on the BRS system as we anticipate a very busy timesheet throughout the week and the weekend.
Team positions after round 2: Team E – 294, Team S – 287, Team D – 284, Team B– 283, Team M – 281, Team L – 281, Team C – 281, Team Z – 279, Team U – 277, Team H – 275, Team Y – 274, Team P – 271, Team K – 271, Team R – 271, Team X – 268, Team G – 266, Team F – 266, Team J – 265, Team N – 263, Team A – 262, Team W – 261, Team T – 261, Team V – 260.
