Sunday, Feb. 25, Silky Oak – Stableford
1st Ger Lodge (19) 40pts
2nd Teddy Lodge (13) 34pts
3rd Kevin O’Sullivan (14) 33pts
We had a slow round here today at Silky Oak as the course was very busy and the groups in front moved at a snail’s pace.
Ger Lodge just had a course worker helping him instead of a caddy but it didn’t affect his golf as he was a very clear winner with an excellent forty points. Ger’s brother Teddy was burning up the front nine where he had twenty-three points, but the wheels fell off spectacularly and he had four blanks in a row to come second and keep it a family affair today. Kevin O’Sullivan was third but actually walked away with the most money as he had the only ‘2’ of the day.
