Top Ten Shoot Out 2024 by Club President Paul Scholberg

The Top Ten Shoot Out for 2024 has been held and won. The day started on the 10th tee. 

The first eliminated player was Bob Thomas after a chip off at the 10th. He collected $65.00 for his efforts 

The 11th saw the departure of Daniel Rogers ($75.00) after he found the back bunker. 

Par 3 – 12th saw a great tee shot from first qualifier Tony Callaghan 3 foot from the hole. It also saw the John Jackson collecting his final pay for the day ($85.00) 

The 13th almost became the final for Marcus Hams, he put it in the creek on the right but had a miraculous recovery to stay in the game. We said farewell to Matt Sheppard, who collected $95.00. 

The 14th had all the drama of a cheap novel. Marcus Hams and Tony Callaghan out of bounce in the creek. A three-way chip off, and Tony left the competition with $105.00. 

Marcus Hams was the next to be eliminated and he went home with $115.00. 

And then there were four. The 16th took care of Matt Thurley who after a wayward tee shot found the left-hand bunker and bowed out with $125.00 in his account. 

The 17th was Eddie Rogers’ Waterloo but he departed $140.00 richer. 

Then there were two. Jack and Jamie. Jamie Cromer was the ultimate victor with a gallant Jack Swainson in second place Jack picked up $170.00 Jamie Cromer the winner of the 2024 Top Ten Shoot out who pocked a cool $200 

It was a successful end to a great and growing competition. Many thanks to Tom Ballard for organising the entire competition, and a special thank you to Sam Hatfield for stepping in at the last minute as the referee. 

Next year it will be bigger and better. All the entry fees go into the prize pool
