The Pakenham Golf Club played host to the “Paul Hendry Show” on Saturday as the B Grade player went on a one-man rampage to score an incredible 50 points off his 13 handicap in Stableford competition.
Hendry teed off in one of the first groups of the day and shot a one-under par 70 to wipe the smile of many players faces as they came in throughout the day with scores in the low to mid 40s.
The course is in great condition at the moment and this was reflected by the quality of scoring that was handed in. Another early morning player Bryan Clydesdale took out A Grade with 43 points while John Piggott completed a trifecta of impressive scores by winning C Grade with 45 points. Balls down the line went to 38 points.
Nearest the pins went to Rob McCrae (2nd), Matt Hogan (5th), Troy Whittaker (8th), Pat Ellerton (14th) and Tom Cassidy grazed the hole on the 16th. Closest second shots went to Damien Rhyne (3rd) and Mitch Dempster on the 6th. Longest Drives were A Grade Kevin Booker, B Grade Spencer Noonan with a 290m bomb and C Grade Stuart Scott. Next week’s competition is a Par event.
