Played at Gosford GC on Sunday 16 November, a disappointingly small but quality field saw the event dominated by juniors.
Shay Bennett of Everglades returned one of the best scores recorded in this event for many years when he returned a card with just 64 shots recorded on it against Gosford's par of 70. Blake Cranston of Toukley was also on fire and returned another great score of 65 pushing Shay all the way to the finish line.
The boys finished 1 & 2 in the Championship over all and retained those positions in the Junior Championship. Nett prizes in the Junior event went to Jack Tabone of Gosford who finished with 69 and Max Atwell of Toukley who beat fellow Toukley Junior Ellis Devlin on countback with a score of 71.
The nett winner in the Championship was District stalwart, Craig Wickham returning nett 68 holding off Gosford's Jack Tabone whose score of 69 had to withstand a countback against golden oldie, Dave McClelland of Wyong.
The Masters event had a distinctly club feel about it with Craig Wickham of Wyong triumphing over Wyong Club President Dave McClelland 70 to 73 and in the nett section Paul Martin of Everglades withstood a countback from Everglades Club Captain Stewart Wilson both on a score of 71.
In conjunction with the Singles Championship we also played the 2025 Champion of Champions event and the "A" grade title was claimed by Gosford's Dean Stevens (72), "B" Grade went to Mangrove Mts. Stephen Foster (89), "C" Grade Ellis Devlin (86) of Toukley and the Junior title went to Everglades Shay Bennett (64).
