Wednesday 6 August, Stroke and M. McGrann Bag Day Qualifier:
Conditions for golfers are tough at the moment.
Wintery weather, heavy underfoot and no run combine to conspire against most of our members posting anything resembling a decent score.
But, as always, rising up to the challenge, you can always expect someone to lead by example.
And a very good example was posted by long time member, David Hatt, as his super impressive Nett 64 blew away the rest of the field bigtime.
Playing off a good golfer’s handicap of eight meant that Hatty shot a 72 off-the-stick, which was superb under the aforementioned conditions.
Of course, Hatt qualifies to play off for the bag in December, which will mean he will face a longish road trip from Lakes Entrance, because he is moving there soon.
His win was emphatically illustrated by the fact that our daily runner up was Captain Whitehead, recording a solid Nett 71.
As no surprise to anyone, the ball rundown stretched down to Nett 74.
The NTP winners only totalled three.
It is very rare for me to report that no one recorded an NTP on the relatively easy third hole, nor on the 15th, which is a much tougher challenge.
David Mackey won one on the equally tough fifth, Your Loyal Scribe snared one on the ninth and Trevor Porter took one home for a great tee shot on the 12th.
Saturday 9 August, Stableford:
After last week’s mixed results from the monthly medal day, and with beautiful drying weather, this day’s results showed that the course, even accounting for heavy conditions, can be conquered.
Our leading conqueror was Lee Creedy who posted a fine 36 points.
This was good enough for Lee to take home the A Grade voucher.
The B Grade prize was won by Manny Humphris with 35 solid points.
Jason Kenno Kennedy was the runner up, also on 35 points.
At the time of going to press, there were NO NTPs listed.
There was no V.V.V. Comp on this week
