Men

Larry Pershouse scored 38 points to win the single stableford competition last Saturday, just one shot ahead of Kevin Domjahn who claimed 2nd on a countback from Brett Martell. Rundowns went to Dave Robinson, Clinton Dowling, Len Stallard, Phil Luckett and Kev Savage.

Travis Mittelheuser won best nine holes with 19 points, while Des Wicks won the A Division pinshot no 4 & 13 and Kev Domjahn won B Division.

In the pairs matchplay competition Mick Hickey and Bill Kingston won 1 up over Mitch Anderson and Damien Dowling, while Ross Nicol and Terry Smallman also won 1 up over Will Martell and Neale Mittelheuser.

Saturday's competition will be a fourball best ball stroke so there will be no handicap changes for the Men's Open Day to be played on Sunday, with 7:30am morning shotgun start and 12:15 afternoon start.  Names in by Wednesday please.

Vets

The Monthly VIP single stroke attracted a goodly number of players in what proved to be a highly competitive event, with some excellent scores both gross and nett.  None enjoyed the day more than Dave Robinson whose 68 nett (74 gross) won him the A Division from Norm Plath on 69, second on a countback from Kev Savage.

In B Division Kev Denham also scorred a 68 nett to win from Mick Ryan on 71, on a countback from Bob Werne.  Visitor Kerri Stebbings won the ladies competition with nett 72, but was unable to claim the VIP trophy, won by Joy Cartner on 73, with Coralie Volgyesi winning the rundown.  Marg Dennett won the women's approach and Barry Steinke won the men's.

Kev Denham and Coralie easily led the Chook Run winners with 28 each, followed by Bill Herring and Dave Robinson on 32, Ray Walker and Mick Ryan on 33 on a spin from Margaret Dennett.

Thanks go to our sponsors of the day - Ray Walker and Bill Herring who of course couldn't win their own prizes.

Next Tuesday is the challenging par event.  See you there for a 12 noon start.

Remember our own Vets' Carnival takes place on Tuesday April 8 with morning and afternoon fields. Get your nominations in soon!
