Wednesday 9 February at Stableford:
Max Carvill is a regular member at our club, a school bus driver, who has an interest in beekeeping and scoring big Stableford points on a regular basis! This week was one of those occasions! His 43 points blitzed the field by 3 points, an unusually large margin! Trish Eldridge kept the flag flying for the ladies with 40 impressive points, one of her better rounds recently. This result meant that Trish took home the runner-up voucher. With these scores being posted, it surprised no one that balls struggled to get down to 36! Our NTP winners on this day were Kevin Barga (3rd), Trevor Porter (9th), and Ross Machar (15th). Members, please note that next Wednesday the time-honored Mavis & Henry Sanders 3-person Ambrose will be played!
Twilight:
There was a very healthy field playing this week, most likely because of the most pleasant weather conditions prevailing. Jimmy Stewart also prevailed over that large field by recording a large total of points! His 23 points were very impressive and clearly good enough to trump any other results! Although, Joel Coombes’ 22 points was nothing to sneeze at! At least he was rewarded with the runners-up voucher. Balls, therefore, only extended to 18. NTP’s went to Paul Osborn (1st), Gator Atwell (3rd), and to the very talented Kim-Kennedy (9th)!
Saturday 12 February:
Peter Fox has been in superb form this year so far! His score on this day was also superb a stunning plus seven! Great work Pete, taking home the A-Grade voucher. The B-Grade prize was taken out by David Scott, with an equally impressive plus five. Well done, Scotty! Noel Cross is unlucky again being declared the daily runner-up. Crossy had a plus 4 which would have won on many of our Par days!! With these scores being recorded, my score of square did not even get a ball but plus one and up did!! NTP’s were won by Danny Fox (3rd and not letting cousin Peter take all the glory!), Darren Wyatt (5th), Bruno Kennedy (9th), Trevor Porter (12th). and young Andy Gill (15th).
Next week is the most important Ralph-Logan memorial day, so book in to reserve your spot!
