The V.V.V’s: On this lovely Monday, Michelle Jordon had a fine result. Her 15 points was enough to win on a countback, from Merilyn Macdonald. Both ladies finished well ahead of the rest of the field. No NTPs coming, although one tee shot ran across the green, to rest just off the said green only inches away from an NTP.
Wednesday 19 March: Par almost always provides a challenge to, as most winning scores are good, not great. Trevor Porter would argue that his +2 was great considering the difficult course that he played on. That score was certainly great enough to allow Trev to pocket the top voucher for himself. Add to this, an NTP on the 3rd hole, and Mr. Porter will suggest that he has had a great day. Angus Hall pops up again, who was our runner up on this day with a +1. Balls reached down to -1. Other NTP winners were Andy Lockey (9th), Dave Waterman (12th) and David Mackey (15th).
Twilight: With only 2 rounds to go in the wonderful Twilight comp, and an absolute logjam being created at the top, every score was important. Young Manny Humphris was this week’s winner with 22 very impressive points, and this is hugely significant because this entrenches Manny in the Top Ten. If Manny finishes there, he will easily be the youngest Club member to reach the Shootout, at the age of 14. The runner up on this night was Pennant Captain, Luke Patrick, who amassed 20 points off some ridiculously low handicap. The rundown extended to 18 only. The 3 NTPs went home with Ben “Panda” Lever (10th), Steuart Hawke (12th) and to Clint Toohey (15th). After next week’s final round, the Top Ten will be announced.
Sat, March 22nd: Stableford: The best of the scores from this day came from Glen Patrick, who posted a blistering 41 points. This gifted him the B Grade voucher. The runner up was Merilyn Macdonald, with a 39 point result. Balls here reached down to 35 only. The A Grade voucher was won by Chris Leighton, with a 40 point score, followed by runner up Liam Kay on 40 points also, which meant that Chris won A Grade on a countback. The NTP winners this time were as follows: Troy Murphy (3rd), Josh Hin (5th), Alan Keymer (9th), Liam Kay (12th) and to Dale Sund, (15th).
