Wednesday 13 December, Stableford:
A smaller-than-usual field took on the hot and steamy conditions to battle for the available prizes. The A-Grade winner was the much-talented Ian ‘Junior’ Garside. Junior posted a 37-point round to grab the top voucher ahead of runner-up, Allan ‘Old-Man-River’ Hubbard, who showed a welcome return to form, with 36 solid points. Ross Machar won the B-Grade voucher also with 37 points. Just to keep the ladies in the picture, Deb Hamment, grabbed the runner-up prize with 36 points. Both grades saw the ball rundown reach 34. NTP prizes were taken home by Neil ‘Mr. Scotland’ Leckenby (3rd), Dale Horrobin (5th), David Hatt (9th) and Junior Garside (15th).
Twilight:
The penultimate Twilight before the Christmas break, was played in far more pleasant conditions than the day before. Making the most of these favourable conditions was Jack Sheehan (again), who added a valuable 10 points to his Shootout total ( Jack must be leading by now, after a couple of recent wins). This week’s runner-up is another perennial Shootout finalist, Ashley Hall. He posted a 20-point round. Balls reached 18 points. The 3 NTP winners were Sean ‘Bruno’Kennedy, (10th), the not-to-be outdone Jason ‘Kenno’ Kennedy (12th) and Seth ‘Junior’ Spenceley (15th).
Saturday 16 December, 4-Person Ambrose:
This event was held in conjunction with the Club’s Presentation Day (Trophy winners will be published in the new year when the Star Mail returns).
The Ambrose championship team on this day consisted of Peter, Michael and Danny Fox joined by Roger Mataele. Their final posted score of Nett 49.12 was another ‘out-of-the-box’ result. Although, you will notice, dear readers, that the runner-up team’s score was not too shabby either. Michael Batten, Chris Leighton, Shane Ford and Ryan Wilson achieved that with a Nett 50.75 result. Finally, individual winners were the NTP group of P.K. (3rd), Danny Fox (5th), Neil Leckenby (9th) and ex-member Chris Fall (15th).
