Open Amateur Stunner
TLGC member Stewart Creswick produced a stunning finish to overtake some of the state's best golfers and win the Tuggerah
Lakes Golf Club Open Amateur individual stroke event held Saturday, 8 September, 2007.
In a spectacular inward nine, Stewart eagled the par 5 15th, then after a solid par on the 16th carded consecutive birdies
on the 17th & 18th holes to post 1-under 69 and claim the coveted title from 2006 TLGC Junior Champion Dimi Papadatos
who finished on 72, with Danny An of Strathfield Golf Club one stroke further back.
Stewart's outward nine had plenty of highlights as well, among them a hole-in-one at the temporary 6th hole when his
approach to the 165-metre par 3 was never in doubt.
Long-time TLGC member Ron Ayton also finished well taking out the overall nett title with 71.
Woodward & Wehrle Triumph
Six-time club champion Brett Woodward (+1) and fellow A Grader Rodney Wehrle (4) proved too strong a combination against a top

Woodward and Wehrle carded 4-under-par 138 to pocket the A Grade winner's cheque and trophy with Ron Ayton and Greg Nicholas
teaming well together for second. A Grade nett winners were the team of Andrew Arkins and Jason Henry, with Craig Chilvers
and Jack Danswan second.
David Allomes and Jamie Armstrong won B Grade, with Michael Duggan and Anthony Duggan winning the nett trophy. Francis Gore
and Hilton Cope claimed the C Grade scratch trophy, with Garry Walsh and Peter Costello (no, not that P Costello) taking
out the C Grade nett title.
Top Gun Winner 07
Sean Cameron overcame a top-class field of TLGC members to claim this year's Top Gun Shootout, held Sunday 4 February, 2007.
Sean, who plays off an 11 handicap, showed nerves of steel as his opponents, including defending champion and two-time
winner Ron Ayton, fell while his game went from strength to strength. Sean stormed home with birdies on 15 & 16,
and a par on 17.
Jamie Power said at the start of the shootout that he would be walking up the 18th, finished second.
