The 2018 Kempsey Open Day was proudly sponsored by Macleay Valley Travel last Saturday and saw a good field of 77 players hit off in the 18 hole Single Stableford event. With the members on Saturday were visitors from Frederickton, SWR, Howlong, Bowraville, Coffs Harbour and Nambucca Heads Golf clubs. A big thank you goes to Bryn for your support on the day and to all the volunteers who were on the course during the week getting the course ready for the big event.

The stand out highlight of the day was the very first hole in one by Todd Watts at the par 3, 3rd hole. Todd collected himself the jackpot prize which was on offer from Celebrations of West Kempsey. Well done Todd from everyone at the club and all the team at Celebrations.
The winner of the gross event on Saturday was Ross Leopold, while the overall net winner with a round of 45 points was John Baker from the Howlong club. I’m sure John will be checking his handicap when he returns to the Howlong club for his next game.
Taking out the top grade on Saturday was Cedric Rudd with a score of 42 points from Kevin Smith on 40 points. Azia Smith was the ‘B’ grade winner with Max Gleeson as the runner up also on 43 points. In the ‘C’ grade on Saturday the scores were really hot and the winner with a score of 43 points Roger McAlister from David Tolman who had a round of 42 points.
The winners of the ntp’s at the 3rd hole were Peter Hatton ‘A’, Watts ‘B’, Graeme Hall ‘C’. At the 11 th hole the winners were Les Greenup ‘A’, Azia Smith ‘B’, Michael Hinchcliffe ‘C’, PamBruce ‘L’.
