The V.V.V’s:

Although not enough for a daily comp, four adventurous girls went out to tackle the front nine. Deb, Georgie, Sallyanne and Vicki posted various scores on the day but clearly had a lot of fun (With a few other Ladies returning from ‘touring’, in the next couple of weeks, the daily comps will soon return).

Wednesday 21 August, Stableford:

With a smaller-than-usual mid-week field to contend with(the weather wasn’t great), club legend Alan ‘A.J’ Johnston easily posted the best score, with 42 magnificent points, being more than enough by 6 points, to earn him the top voucher. Well done A.J. The runner-up with an impressive score also was David Waterman, posting 36 points, which is his best result for some time. The rundown extended to 33. The NTPs went home with Neil ‘Mr. Scotland’ Leckenby (3rd), A.J. (9th), Ross Machar (12th) and David Hatt (15th).

Saturday 24 August, 4-Person aggregate Team Stableford:

This rarely-played event consists of four-Person teams, playing individual Stableford, but then the top three scores from each group are posted, and the highest total score wins the day. The group winning this day consisted of Ryan Smith (36 points), David ‘Pup’ Lever (36) and Troy Murphy (34) for a total of 106 points. Well done, boys. The runner-up team on the day consisted of Sam Dennis (36), Peter Fox (34) and Danny Fox (32) totalling 102 points. The other member of this group was young Brendan Creedy, a very new member of WGC, who snared an NTP on the 12th. Other NTP winners were Paul Osbourne (3rd), Lee Creedy (5th and not to be outdone by No.1 son), David Lever (9th) and Neil Leckenby (15th).
