Wednesday 7 December, Stroke and M. McGrann bag playoff:
And so, 7 starters hit off to vie for the M. McGrann bag trophy (some qualifiers not with us anymore, some dual winners and an absentee meant that the full complement of 12 winners was not possible!) A very popular winner though was Merrilyn McDonald, with a steady Nett 70. This won her the bag, which will be presented to her on Presentation Saturday! Great result, Merrilyn! But, the daily winner, and first qualifier for the playoff next year, was David Wappett, with a slick Nett 66. Good shooting, Wapp! Peter Bell was the unlucky runner-up. I say unlucky because on any other Wednesday, his Nett 67 would see him claim the top voucher! Balls got down to 71 only. NTP winners were Tom Barr (3rd), Ross Machar (5th), Noel Cross (9th), John Hall (12th) and to Junior Garside (15th).
TWILIGHT:
Seth Spenceley shot a terrific 9 holes to accrue 23 impressive points! ( Holidays agree with you, Seth!) John Hall grabbed the runner-up voucher with a “none-too-shabby” 21 points! These two cleared out from the rest of the field, and balls extended to 16 only. ( No NTP results were available at the time.)
Saturday 11 December, PAR and the Mick-Cleary Farrier’s-Day:
Named after a popular past member, this day always produces some memorable scores. Our winner this year won with a memorable-+5, that being Roger Mataele. This excellent result earnt him the Farrier’s Cup and the top voucher in A-Grade. The B-Grade prize was taken home by John Hall, continuing his recent “hot form!” John posted a +4. The two runner-ups were Paul Kennedy (+3) and Chris Leighton (+1) respectively. The collective ball rundown, covering both grades, saw it reach “square”. No NTP winners were listed in the results. Finally, our two Christmas breakups are listed for Saturday 17 December(including Presentation), and for 21 December 21 for the Wednesday players! Don’t miss out members!
