Wednesday 3 August, Stroke and M.McGrann Bag-day:
Another Bag-day qualifier, and this month the weather gods looked down on the field kindly! The golfing gods also had a target to shine on kindly, which only happens on rare occasions to us club-golfers! This month’s target happened to be Ron Wilson, who posted a very creditable 72 Nett, in challenging conditions! ( Besides the daily top prize, he now qualifies to play off for the bag, in November) Ron only won on a countback, as Ken Barratt was hot on his heels to secure the runner-up voucher. Balls got all the way down to 75! Only 3 NTPs were won today. Paul Kennedy had a field day with wins on both the 3rd and the 5th. The only other NTP winner was Barry Maltman, who snared one on the 9th.
Saturday 6 August, Stroke and Monthly Medal:
On a tough day, where the weather was a little unpleasant, the conditions were heavy and we played off the back tees, good scores were always going to be challenging. The best of the challengers was Roger Mataele, posting a better-than-expected Nett 66. ( Improved greatly from last week’s match Rog!) The runner-up, in one of his last games before he leaves for better weather, Darren Wyatt posted a creditable Nett 69. Balls got all the way down to 75! NTPs were given out to Clint Toohey (3rd), Tim Blanche (5th), Roger Mataele ( 9th and 12th) and to Ken Barratt (15th).
