The Gosnells One day Singles tournament is so successful it now runs for two days at two venues! But I hope they never change the name!
On day one at Belmont, Forrest Park was represented by Brett McHardy, who won the day unbeaten. At Gosnells we had John Doepel (4 wins) Torben Bak (3 wins) and Joyce Carbone, who learned that a bout of COVID brought home by the grand kids is not performance enhancing. Hope you feel better soon, Joyce.
Day Two at Belmont; the plate competition was won by John Doepel, undefeated, in his second tournament win in two weeks! He was hard pressed by Brian Scott who makes everyone he stands near look like a munchkin, look a the photo below. Julian Clark continued his good form placing third.
Day Two at Gosnells had a very strong field, I hear Marty Clark likes to use this event as a hit-out for the State Squad.
The lightning fast lawns and undulating topology were too challenging for Marcus McGavock who barely inconvenienced the scorers (again) but played into the hands of the hard hitting Brett McHardy and Torben Bak, and to a lesser extent to Marty Clark who managed some finesse on the treacherous surface. In a stunning return to form Torben beat all comers and finished two wins ahead of Marty and Brett. Side note: it took Torben 2 hours to beat Marcus in the first game of the day.
