Seven ladies travelled to Bundaberg on Sunday, August 24 for their Ladies' Open Day.  Vicki Wyeth enjoyed her day out winning the C Grade competition with 35 points and also a money tree in the major raffle! Monica Madsen and Joan Wright claimed approach shots.

On Saturday the members played with the men in the club event, with results in their notes.  This Thursday and Saturday we play for the September Monthly Goblets.

Men

An invitingly warm pre-spring day saw a strong number of players arrive for the club sponsored fourball stableford with secret partners.

It was a day when men and women were paired randomly, but there were some excellent individual achievements.  Cynthia Draper scored a hole in one on number 10, the third such feat this year, while on number 1 Helen Ricciardi put her second shot in the hole for an eagle - congratulations to both women!

Adrian Martin and Kieth Rule won the competition with a combined 74 points on a countback from Blake Dowling and partner Joan Wright.  There were a number of rundowns.  Dave Robinson and Vicki McAulay won the best nine holes with 38 points.

The A Division pinshots went to Mark McAulay on 1 & 10 and Dave Robinson on 4 & 13.  For the B Division Adrian Martin won the pinshot on 4 & 13 and Ken Albion the approach on 1 & 10.  Cynthia Draper won the ladies approach with her hole in one!

Next week is Monthly Medal and players are reminded to bring a plate for an after game snack.  Here is also a reminder for Match Play qualifiers in both singles and pairs to complete their rounds, with some yet to play the first one.

Vets

In spite of some notable absences, another strong field contested the stroke versus par competition, the first round of play for the Cooper Cup.

Vicki McAulay scored plus 4 to be the overall winner on the day.  Niel Rieck with plus 2 won the A Division from visitor Ken Stevens on plus 1, with Margaret Dennett next on minus 1. Kieth Rule won the best nine holes on plus 1.

Larry Pershouse won the B Division with plus 2 on a countback from Joan Wright, with Rose Cochrane next on plus 1.  Ed Connell won the best nine with plus 4!

Approaches were won by Niel Rieck, .1 from the hole and Vicki McAulay on .86 metres.

Vicki led the Chook Run winners with 28 nett, from Ed Connell on 29, Joy Cartner 31, Larry Pershouse 32, Joan Wright and Roger Draper both on 33 from spin offs.

Next week is back to our favourite, the single stableford.  See you there for the 12 noon hit off!
