But 16 under par? 

That’s a pretty fair effort.

A quartet consisting of Ben Cummings, Phil Campbell, Tim McKinnon and Zane Beale competed in the weekly competition on Saturday, a four-ball event.

They were simply on fire from the outset, nailing 10 birdies, three eagles and five pars for their final total, which was enough to win them the day’s competition comfortably.

Club captain Manuel Pro summed up the achievement.

“It was definitely the best round of ambrose I’ve seen in nine years as captain,” he said.

“We had a field of 160 players with some very strong teams, so the win has a lot of merit.”

Campbell provided one of the highlights of the round when he holed out from the fairway on the 17th to give them an eagle, landing his approach shot perfectly in the cup on the full.

McKinnon was also in vintage form as he managed to chip in from an incredibly difficult spot on the second, where the pin was in the back-left corner on the highest of three tiers, hitting from below the front of the green.

“I think many years ago, maybe 20 or so, Peter O’Malley was in a group with some of the top local players at the time and shot a similar sort of score, but that’s the only one I can think of,” Campbell said.

“We all contributed fairly equally. Ben is off two at the moment and just hits the ball fantastically well.

“Tim is in really good form and is one of the most improved players going around, and Zane I hadn’t met before Saturday, but he ended up in our group. He’s a good guy and his putting especially was very impressive.

“We just all combined really well – we were getting eagles and birdies from good shots rather than just luck and we actually had two birdie opportunities where we all putted from about eight feet and missed. We could have scored even better.”

The distance Cummings covers from the tee is a big asset to any group that has good iron players, and as Campbell explained, it made a major contribution to their final tally, seven shots clear of their nearest rivals.

“I was teeing off after Benny, which is a bit of a luxury. It meant I was just stepping up and trying to hit it as far as I physically could to try and get somewhere close to him ... which was a waste of time,” Campbell said.

“It just sets up so many easier approach shots.

“With the putting as well, when you’ve got the first couple of guys hitting one, even if they don’t hole it but get it close, it gives the next few guys a good idea of where it has to go.

“Most importantly, they are all good guys, so it was a lot of fun to be a part of. Everyone combined and contributed equally and made for a good day.”
