The final night of the AMG Twilight Series 2 was played in beautiful conditions with a record 52 players taking on the back 9.
Winners on the night in the women’s division were Jo McNicholl (19) with Lynley Gainsford 2nd on c/b and Amelia Ching 3rd also on c/b. NTP on #15 was also Lynley.
The Men’s division saw a clear winner in Peter Ophuis with a series-best 24 points over twilight debutant Rob Pentecost (21) on c/b over son-in-law Ben Halsey. NTP went to Tom Grimshaw.
In terms of the overall series winners, we already knew that Lydia Pomeroy and Nigel Paterson had unassailable leads with Lydia’s 91 points aggregate (22.75 points per round average) and Nigel’s 90 (22.5 average) being way too good so congrats to them both for very consistent campaigns.
Peter was able to leapfrog a few with his outstanding 24 points on finals night to take 2nd with 84 points aggregate and Ben Potter was steady every week to compile 80 aggregate and take 3rd place.
There was quite a gap back to 2nd in the ladies’ comp with Lynley Gainsford on 75 closely followed by 4 others on 74 – Jo McNicholl, Susan Lovett, Diane Deuart and Denise Guerin. An executive decision based on points on the last night saw Jo pip the others for 3rd spot.
A huge thanks to all that attended the series and there were many who played all 6 weeks. Of course, the biggest thanks goes to series sponsor Armstrong Motor Group whose support enables us to have such great series prizes and also Merivale Fresh Choice who provide such fantastic weekly meat trays and weekly vouchers.
The 2021 AMG Series 1 starts up on Tuesday Feb 9th for 6 weeks so I look forward to seeing many of you back doing battle then.
