Men and Women
The cloudy sky and weather forecast deterred many on the final day of the official golfing season. A few hardy members enjoyed the single stableford competition in the pleasant conditions.
Ben Van Der Valk returned a score of 38 points to win the Men’s Division from Ken Albion on 35 points, second on a countback from Roger Draper, who led the rundowns, followed by Phil Pearce, Ross Nicol and Ray Walker, all on 34 points.,
Bill Herring (6.5m) won the A Division pinshot on 1&10, while Norm Plath (3.72m) won the B Division approach. Ross Nicol (8.9m) won the A Division pinshot on 4&13.
Cynthia Draper with 31 points won the competition in the Ladies’ Division, with Coralie Volgyesi (1.36m) winning the approach on 6&15.
As last Saturday was the final official golfing day of the season, the club will now conduct BBB stableford competitions on Saturdays, Tuesdays and Public Holidays until the 2017 season is officially opened towards the end of January.
