Wednesday 2 August:
Stroke and M. McGrann “Bag-day qualifier”– One of my good friends, and a popular member at WGC, is this month’s bag qualifier for the McGrann trophy.
Tex Van Der Kooi had a day out and eventually posted a very pleasing Nett 68, which earnt him the B-Grade voucher, too.
Well done, Tex; keep up that good form for the upcoming M/Pennant season.
The B-Grade R/up was Ken-Barratt, just returned from a 3-week break “up north.”
K.B’s Nett 72 was clearly a sign of better scores ahead!
In A-Grade, James-Campion won the voucher, with a Nett 72, although only on a tight C/back, with David-Hatt breathing down his neck, by also posting a 72!
(This also meant that Tex beat the field by 4 shots—a decisive win there! )
Balls only receded to 75. ( Damn again!!) The NTP winners on this day were Clinton-Toohey,(3rd), Noel-Cross, (5th and 15th—a better return than your flakey Cats, Noel).
The other winners were Glenn-Forbes, (9th) and Michael-Eldridge, (12th).
Saturday 5 August:
Stroke & Monthly-Medal—With a smaller field than normal, there was only a straight-out winner, and that was Joshua-Hin with a fine Nett 65, which, by the way, “bested” the rest of the field by a clear 3 shots.
Josh’s 65 meant that he took home the top voucher on offer, plus the August Medal.
(A good day’s work, wouldn’t you say, Josh—-although the handicapper is looking closely at your overly generous 25 handicap!)
Trevor-Porter put together his best result for some time, posting a creditable Nett 68.
The ball rundown reached 72. NTP prizes went home with Craig-Staggard, (3rd), Josh-Hin, (5th), Peter-Fox, 9th), Robert-Ferguson, (12th) and to Seth-Spenceley, (15th).
