Vets
The humid conditions made play both uncomfortable and difficult for most members playing a single stableford competition. However some still managed to score well, with Terry Smallman scoring best, winning A Division with 38 points from Cynthia Draper on 36, with Robyn Robinson 3rd on 35 points on a countback from Dave Robinson – good for family harmony!
In B Division Coralie Volgyesi won with 36 points from Rusty Usmar with 30 points, 2nd on a countback from Ray Burrowes who came 3rd.
Kev Savage won the Men’s approach (0.075m) on 1&10; the Combined approach (0.08m) on 4&13; while Cynthia Draper (1.12m) won the Ladies’ approach on 6&15.
Craig Reynolds and Ray Walker (32 nett) led the Chook Run winners, followed by Ray Burrowes, Terry Smallman and Dave Robinson (33) on spins from unlucky others.
Next week we play a 4 bbb stableford – organise a partner and be ready for hit-off at 12 noon. See you there.
