Wednesday 18 May, Stableford:
History is being made before your very eyes folks! Some years ago, many golf clubs changed to mixed competitions, involving ALL results on the day being both Men and Ladies’ results. This week, at Warburton, for the first time, our Wednesday winner AND our runner-up were both of the female variety! Lynda Dickson came out on top, with 40 magnificent points, no mean feat as she and her husband are preparing to head north very soon, for their Winter respite! And, so it came to pass that the runer-up on this day was none other than Michelle Jordan, with a solid 36 points. Great work girls! On a tough day weather-wise, balls got all the way down to 30! NTPs were taken out by “Old-Man-River” Hubbard, (on both the 3rd and the 15th, another who just gets better as he gets older), David Murch (5th), Your Loyal Scribe (9th) and Alan McDonald (12th).
The Ladies’ B-Grade Championships are now complete. No scores are available at this stage, but winners are: Lynda Dickson (Open champion by a healthy margin!), and Ineke DeGraaf snared the runner-up trophy in the Open. Our Nett Champion is Sue Barratt, ( clearly with bragging rights for the rest of the year in that household!) and finally, the Nett runner-up is Michelle Jordan, clearly due to her fine result in the last Round. Hearty congratulations to all trophy winners!
Saturday 21 May, Stroke and 4-Person Ambrose: As at the time of writing this, the election results are not fully known, folks, but I DO know the results of this Ambrose comp! And, it was NOT a close result, too! So avoiding a ‘hung parliament’ result, the team of Ben and David Lever, Troy Murphy and Ryan Smith, took out the top honours, posting a very impressive 49.87. The runner-up team was Richard Clifton, Tyson Freeman, Paul Jefimenko and Jason Kilby, with a score of 52.12. Balls extended to 59.25. There were no NTP results posted!
