Vets

A large contingent of our members journeyed to Maryborough intent on claiming the Childerborough Cup. Unfortunately the margin was small but it was losing one. Next Year!

The small numbers who stayed played a single stableford. Rusty Usmar with 39 points won on countback from Norm Plath, with a rundown to Ray Walker. Norm reversed the situation in the Chook Run winning from Rusty. Clinton Dowling put his second shot in the hole to win the combined approach.

Next Tuesday, see you there for the single stableford competition.
