Wednesday 31 May, Stableford:
Another healthy field, allowing for A and B-Grade winners, saw an A-Grade win to the very talented Clinton Toohey, who posted a healthy 35 points. ‘Mr Consistent’ James Campion, was pipped by Clint on a tight countback, as he also recorded 35 points. But the big news comes with the B-Grade results, where the ever-popular Ineke DeGraaf also won on a countback. Her result of 36 points means that Mrs DeGraaf has bragging rights in that household, at least for a week Henk. Well done, Ineke. Glen Forbes was the unlucky runner-up, recording a 36-points card too. If you accrued 32 points or better, you can claim your ball next time you are in the Pro shop. NTPs went home with the ever-accurate Jaqui Hall (3rd), Ross Machar (5th), Michael Hibbert (9th), Clinton Toohey, (12th) and the ageless Alan Johnston (15th).
Saturday 3 June, Stroke and Monthly Medal:
The June medallist just happens to be Robert Ferguson, who posted a very creditable Nett 66 in tough conditions. Rob’s round was very consistent over the whole 18 holes (and that is the secret to winning a medal). Josh Hin was the B-Grade runner-up with a noteworthy Nett 68. Now, in A-Grade, the winner had a direct piece of advice for Your Loyal Scribe. Late on Friday afternoon, Darryl Ward was asked if he was playing the next day, and he said he was. It was cheekily suggested that he needed to do something handy so he could be talked up in this article and he promised he would. He delivered, as his Nett 72 won him the A-Grade prize, so great job, Wardy. Although, he only snuck in on a tight countback, because Neil ‘Mr Scotland’ Leckenby also posted a Nett 72. Well done, bonny lad. NTP winners were Steuart Hawke (3rd and nice to see him back), James Campion (9th), John Hall (12th) and to Alan Johnston (15th).
