The Top Ten Shoot Out for 2024 has been held and won. The day started on the 10th tee.
The first eliminated player was Bob Thomas after a chip off at the 10th. He collected $65.00 for his efforts
The 11th saw the departure of Daniel Rogers ($75.00) after he found the back bunker.
Par 3 – 12th saw a great tee shot from first qualifier Tony Callaghan 3 foot from the hole. It also saw the John Jackson collecting his final pay for the day ($85.00)
The 13th almost became the final for Marcus Hams, he put it in the creek on the right but had a miraculous recovery to stay in the game. We said farewell to Matt Sheppard, who collected $95.00.
The 14th had all the drama of a cheap novel. Marcus Hams and Tony Callaghan out of bounce in the creek. A three-way chip off, and Tony left the competition with $105.00.
Marcus Hams was the next to be eliminated and he went home with $115.00.
And then there were four. The 16th took care of Matt Thurley who after a wayward tee shot found the left-hand bunker and bowed out with $125.00 in his account.
The 17th was Eddie Rogers’ Waterloo but he departed $140.00 richer.
Then there were two. Jack and Jamie. Jamie Cromer was the ultimate victor with a gallant Jack Swainson in second place Jack picked up $170.00 Jamie Cromer the winner of the 2024 Top Ten Shoot out who pocked a cool $200
