Wednesday 15 February, Stableford:
Ralph Logan day remembers a popular, passed member of our Club. Ralph was active in both golf and with our essential Tuesday Garden Club, so it goes without saying that a healthy 40+ field contested this event. And, it is also appropriate that a close friend of both Ralph and his wife, De, won the top voucher. Jacqui Hall blew everyone out of the water with a sensational 44 points. Good shooting Mrs Hall, you warned us it was just around the corner. Rod Kempton took out the runner-up honours with a none-too-shameful 37 points. There were plenty of mid-30s scores, and De was more than happy to gift golf balls to each and every playing member—a lovely gesture on De’s part. ( The Club, and particularly, the Captain wish to thank De for her sponsorship of this increasingly popular annual event, and the yummy dessert table.) NTP mugs went to Peter Fox (3rd), Peter Whitehead (5th), Neil Leckenby (9th, and knocking-off Your Loyal Scribe again), Deb Hamment (12th) and Kevin Bargar (15th).
Twilight: With only 6 more Thursday Twilights to go before the big Shootout, top 10 spots are worth their weight in gold. This is just one reason why very high 9-hole scores are happening every week now. The highest of those scores for this week was posted by Danny Fox, a regular Twilight player. Danny’s 21 points did his top 10 chances no harm. Henk DeGraaf posted his best score in some time, with 20 impressive points, being rewarded with the runner-up voucher. Well done Henk. Balls crept down to 19 only, showing the depth of good scoring at the moment, with plenty of 16,17 and 18 scores posted. NTP winners were Paul Osbourne (with a near-eagle on the 1st,) Junior Spenceley (3rd) and P.K. (9th).
Saturday 18 February, Stableford: With much kinder weather to play in, players took full advantage to record some impressive results. The clearly, most impressive of many good results was a 39-pointer, posted by Junior Spenceley. This was Seth’s best result for some time, but the young tyro appears to be back. Watch out Dad. The A-Grade runner-up was David Hatt, with 37 solid points. The B-Grade top voucher was snapped up by Josh Hin, also with 39 points, although Joshua only claimed that on a countback from Geoff Sharp. Both 39-point efforts were the equal best on the day. Balls overall reached 33. NTPs were claimed by Geoff Sharp (3rd), President Nursey and Bagel (5th), Peter Fox (9th), Craig Staggard (12th) and to Steuart Hawke (15th).
