On a hot and humid day at Warburton Golf Club’s 15 January stableford, some of the field handled the oppressive conditions better than others.
One of these was new member, Kevin Bargar, who won the day with 42 excellent points.
This was followed by Phil ‘Senior’ Garside, who could also be proud of his 40 points.
He took out the runner-up prize.
There were plenty of other good scores, meaning the ball rundown dribbled down to 35.
Nearest the pin winners for this day were Alan ‘Old Man River’ Hubbard (3rd), Peter Bell (excellent 2nd shot on the 6th), John Haynes (9th), Tex Van Der Kooi (12th) and Ron Hottes (15th).
With the weather gods providing more pleasant conditions at the club’s twilight competition on Thursday, the scores responded positively.
The most positive score was posted by Clint Toohey, with 22 points.
He won on a countback from Ash Hall, also on 22.
Balls extended to 19.
Nearest the pins went to Malcolm Dickson (12th), Sam Dennis (15th) and Kempton Senior (17th).
Some really impressive scores were also recorded at the club’s 18 January stableford.
David Scott’s 42 points impressed all and sundry.
He took home the B Grade voucher, while Wyatt Senior grabbed the A Grade one with 40 neat points.
The runner-up on the day was Secretary Barratt, also with 40.
If players scored 36+, they can collect a ball at their next game.
Nearest the pins went to Ken White (3rd), AJ (5th), Junior Spencely (9th), ‘The Flying Scot’ Neil Leckenby (12th) and to Snorcs Paul Long (15th).
