Wednesday 8 February, Stableford:
Yes, it’s back, dear readers, after a battle with NBN to get the Internet back on (the wire being the victim of a rogue fallen branch). But definitely not a victim of the golfing gods was John Haynes, who posted a superb 39 points, the best score on the day, to take home the B-Grade voucher on offer. The runner-up to John was Tim Jones with a solid 36 points. The A-Grade winner was the ever-consistent John Hall with 38 points. Ian Garside was the A-Grade runner-up recording 36 points. Balls extended to 33. The NTP winners were Ron Wilson (3rd), Peter Bell (5th), David Wappett (9th), Merilyn McDonald (12th) and to Hatty (15th).
Twilight:
This popular event is approaching the pointy end. One participant who made a very pointy statement was Jeff Gill. Father Gill amassed 24 points to easily take home the top voucher, and entrench his spot in the Top 10, ready for the famous Shootout in a little over a month. Well done, Senior Gill. The runner-up, some 5 points in arrears, was Roger Mataele, with a none-too-shabby 19. If you scored 17+ you have scored a ball. NTPs went home with Gator Atwell (12th) and Luke Patrick (15th).
Saturday 11 February, Stroke and replay of last week’s Monthly Medal:
And the Medalist is David Scott, who posted a terrific Nett 66. And, for his efforts, Scotty also takes home the B-Grade voucher. The B-Grade runner-up was Ineke De Graff, who recorded her best score in a long time. She also now has bragging rights over Henk, for a week at least. The A-Grade winner was Dave Wappett, with a fine Nett 68, although he only grabbed top prize in a countback from Sean Kennedy. Well done to both. On the day, the balls extended to Nett 73. NTPs went to Skipper Gilmore (3rd), Peter Fox (5th), Steuart Hawke (9th) and David Wappett (15th). I
