Wet and soggy on the course

Warburton Golf Course.

By Ron Hottes

Wednesday 8 June Stableford:

If you’re a long hitter and confident with your fairway shots, then the conditions that prevailed on Wednesday should not faze you too much.

The very soggy course offered no “run” and no respite from typical wintery weather.

Glen Forbes, a relatively new member, showed what he is capable of – 37 points, under those conditions was as good as a 40 plus point round.

Good shooting, Glen, and he took home the top voucher.

Phil-Garside is a long-hitter, and when his whole game comes together, he can “shoot the lights out!”

His 36-points game was equally as impressive, and earned him the runner up prize.

Balls, not surprisingly, reached down to 32.

NTP’s as expected, were “as scarce as hen’s teeth.” Neil-“Mr. Scotland”-Leckenby got one on the 3rd, Laurie-Doyle snared one on the 9th and Steuart-Hawke took the only other one, on the 12th.

Saturday 11 June Stableford:

As there were numerous Harry-Martyr and Singer/Walker matches occurring on this day, our usual field was reduced but that does not mean that scores were reduced.

With heavy conditions again prevailing, many golfers opted to play the no-risk game to ensure consistent scoring.

Clearly the most consistent member on this day was Shane-Campbell, with 37 solid points, which earnt him the top voucher. Good shooting Bomber.

Jason-Kennedy filled the runner up position with a nice 36-point round. Well done, Kenno!

Balls extended to 34. NTP’s went to ex-Captain Cross, (3rd), Shane-Campbell, (5th), Ken-White, (9th) & to Ms. Nursey & Bagel, (12th).
