Close finish at Craig Parry
Invitational
ROBERT Kelly and Paul Goodwin took top
honours at the recent Craig Parry Invitational
held at Kooindah Waters. Their nett score of
61.75 in the 2-person Ambrose event was just
enough to squeak by competitors Dalas Burns
and Phil Saunders, who recorded a nett 62. Phil
Saunders took Nearest to the Pin bikkies on 6th
hole, while the Longest Drive of the day went to
Dave Smith on the 10th hole. Host Craig Parry
treated the players to a putting demonstration
prior to the round, and offered plenty of time
for Q&A throughout the day.;
