Big hitting right hander Brent Bissaker strengthened his grip on the Moss Vale A-grade club championship after firing a second round 73 on Saturday.

The three marker relied on an impeccable short game to finish three over in wet and blustery morning conditions to extend his overall lead to 10 from five marker and head greenkeeper Chris Tetley.

23-year-old Bissaker hit 13 greens in regulation but admits it was his flair around the greens that salvaged the day.

"It was tragic weather out there this morning and I really had to scramble," he said.

"My short game was just awesome though and I think today's round makes me pretty hard to beat from here."

The championship will round off next week when it's played on both Saturday and Sunday.

180 players took to the links on Saturday with the other two grades proving just as decisive as Bissaker's runaway A-grade performance.

In B-grade, John Lenarduzzi continued his sizzling form by shooting 81 on top of last week's 77 to open up a nine shot lead on Wayne Sharpe on 168 (83-85).

The white hot Lenarduzzi started the championship on a 13 handicap but will amazingly tee it up next week off a ten mark.

Lee Alexander (25) holds sway in C-grade despite shooting 95 in Saturday's round.

A tree surgeon by day, Alexander drew suspicion with his remarkable ability to 'get out of the woods', even prompting suggestion that he might be brandishing a pocket size chainsaw.

Nevertheless, he still holds a massive ten shot buffer on nearest rivals Allan Hollis (95-97) and Ken Booth (93-99).

Moss Vale professional Robert Marsh was impressed with the standard of golf at the blue riband event, claiming the scores were the lowest in years.

"The scoring has been excellent and definitely the best it's been for quite some time," he said.

"The fairways are still quite green and if players can keep it straight, there are some good lies available."

The opening two rounds of the championship were also part of the time honoured Sir Norman Kater Trophy for best overall nett score.

The title was taken out by John Lenarduzzi on 135 nett.
