The Monday V.V.Vs:
With numbers improving every week, the Monday comp is really heating up.
But, on this day, the weather won.
With strong winds and regular showers, the ladies decided that the V.V.V. event could wait for another week.
Wednesday 24 September, Stableford:
Although still putting up with occasional showers sweeping across our course, the field on this day did have better conditions to contend with than the V.V.V. girls on Monday.
The most efficient contender was clearly one of our early birds, Ross Machar, who matched his handicap with 36 solid points.
Ross only won the top voucher after a tight countback was needed to separate him from Ian Garside.
The last three holes of Junior’s round could not quite edge out Ross.
The next best was P.K. with 35 points.
Balls reached down to 32.
There were four separate NTP winners, they being Trev Porter (third), Dale Horrobin (fifth), Kevin Bargar (ninth) and to Merilyn Macdonald (12th).
Friday, 26 September, Stableford:
The Grand Final public holiday comp attracted a bigger field than the field who played on the actual day with 40 plus members attending.
On this day, Yering visitor, Angus Nelson, performed just as efficiently as the Lions did a day later.
A whopping 45 points earned Angus the B Grade voucher.
The A-Grade prize went to Rob Ferguson with 39 solid points.
The daily runner up was Jordie Burge, also amassing 39 points.
With these results being posted, balls only reached down to 35 points.
With such a strong field, it was no surprise that all five NTPs on offer were claimed.
They went to Chris C, Dale Sund (fifth), Junior Lever (ninth), Clint Toohey (12th) and to Commissioner Macdonald (15th).
Saturday 27 September, PAR:
Well, folks, with another healthy field, (nearly 40) and there were always going to be some top scores posted.
Finishing in the “plusses” is always a real challenge in these events, but our most consistent junior, Manny Humphris, seemed to relish that challenge, recording a fine plus three.
The upside to this win is that young Manny won’t be seen bragging about that fine effort because he’s also a modest, quiet and likeable young member.
Great work, Manny.
Charly Cochrane was the day’s runner up, with an equally impressive plus two.
The rundown of balls reached minus one only on a countback.
There were two of our members who won dual NTPs, a rare occurrence too.
They were the ever talented Clint Toohey (third and fifth) and David “Pup” Lever (ninth and 12th).
The only other NTP on offer (the 15th) went to Gary Vollmer who incidentally nearly holed out at this notoriously difficult Par three.
