Wednesday 16 August: Stableford:
A field of 40+ meant that we could declare an A and a B-Grade winner on the day -and both winners deserved their vouchers with outstanding results.
First-up, Ray “Happy” Gilmore , our A-Grade Club-Captain posted the day’s best score, with a superb 41 points.
( That 14 handicap won’t last long, Happy!)
The A-Grade R/up was Dave-Hatt with a solid 36 points. In B-Grade, newly-appointed Master’s Pennant captain, Peter-Whitehead, celebrated that vital achievement by recording 40 impressive points.
This easily “trumped” the rest of us B-Graders, with Kyle-Ferguson coming in 2nd, with 37 points.
With these scores being recorded, it will surprise no one that the ball rundown only extended to 33.
There were only 3 NTP winners because both the 5th and the 12th holes again proved too challenging for the whole field.
The NTPs went to Peter-Whitehead, (3rd), Steuart-Hawke, (9th) and to Daniel-Adams, (a Yering guest—15th).
Saturday 19 August:: PAR
A healthy field tackled the challenge that is PAR.
A couple in that healthy field DID rise to the challenge.
In A-Grade, that mercurial golfer, Shane “Bomber” Campbell, posted the best score on the day, with a very impressive +4.
Good job, Bomber.
The R/up to Shane was last week’s hole-in-one specialist, Rod-Kempton, finishing “square” but good enough to grab that voucher.
The B-Grade prize went to Ashley-Hall, with a +2 result.
Good score, Ash.
The R/up here was Glen-Patrick, with another “square” result. In this grade, balls only reached -2, but in A-Grade, they stretched to -5!
NTPs went home with Josh-Hin, (3rd), Noel-Cross, (5th), President-Nursey, (9th), Robert-Scott, (12th) and finally to Dave-Wappett, (15th).
