Last weekend was the final round of the Chip and Putt competition for the year. Close results were the order of the day. In the nine hole division Curtis Fredriksen took the event out on the day with a very good 60 off the stick. Prior to playing the final round of the Chip and Putt Zane Fitzgerald and Curtis Fredriksen were on 51 and 50 respectively, with Christian Fredriksen also on 50. It was always going to be close for the yearly event and at the end of the day Curtis and Zane were both on 50, while Christian had snuck one shot in front on 49! This means that Christian Fredriksen is the nine hole Chipe and Putt Champion for 2013. Congratulations Christian!
In the six hole division this turned out equally close with Ricky Arjona finishing on 54 while Cooper Burns finished one shot clear on 53. Cooper Burns is the six hole Chip and Putt Champion for 2013. Well done Cooper!
