Long time sponsors Gregory and McCarthy kindly put their name to the Yass Open 4BBB Championships again for 2008, and it was familiar local golfing names that featured in the prize giving.
On a perfect Spring Saturday at the old Worth Street course the Brooker brothers came out on top by one shot from Sam Porter and Steve Scroope. Big hitting Peter Brooker and course curator Gary Brooker fired a three under par score of 65 to win the major prize and have their names inscribed on the wall for posterity. That super natural talent Steve Scroope dusts off the clubs once in a blue moon and is always competitive in the feature events during the year. He and the “who’s who” of Yass golf, Sam Porter, were almost up to the task with a two under 66 to be runners up.

(Dads Army)
On a glorious Thursday morning it was the ‘baby’ of the troop Clive Phillips who broke his maiden with an excellent 21pts. Coming to golf later in life, the boy from Wallaroo near Hall got up by one from Graham Howlett and a further shot back to Merv Wright. Racy Ken Reidy and Lofty Mongan picked up the last two balls on offer with 18pts apiece.
