The V.V.Vs:
This week’s best score came from the blades of Suzanne Barratt.
Sue’s score of 19 points easily accounted for the rest of the field because Ineke DeGraaf grabbed the runner up prize with 16 points.
So well done to both Ladies.
Sue had one NTP on the 3rd.
Wednesday 9 April 9th: Stableford:
A fine round comprising 39 points was achieved by 13 year-old Manny Humphris.
After being eliminated early in last week’s Twilight Shootout, clearly Mr Humphris just needed to remind members about the enormous potential he has.
Great shooting, Manny, keep it up.
The runner up in this B Grade was John Haynes who returned a creditable 35 points.
Balls extended down to 31.
In A Grade, Alan Keymar found some hot form to earn himself the top prize with 35 solid points.
The runner up here was Ian Garside, who collected the lesser voucher after being beaten by Alan in a tight countback.
Balls here were given out from 33 up.
The five NTP winners were: Andy Lockey, (for a super 2nd shot on the 1st hole), Angus Hall (3rd), Hatty (9th), Junior Garside (12th) and finally to Peter Bell (15th).
Saturday 12 April: Stableford:
Due to a number of players competing in the Foursomes Club Championships, those not involved played Stableford in a reduced field.
The best result posted in this event came from the blades of Mr. Scotland Leckenby.
Neil won with 36 points.
The runner up was Neil’s regular playing partner in Tex Van Der Kooi.
Tex won that voucher on a countback from Trevor Porter, as both boys posted 33 points.
There were, surprisingly, only 2 NTPs, they being taken home by Steuart Hawke (12th) and Ray Gilmore (15th).
The results of the Foursomes Club Championships, where 24 pairs vied for the glory of this prestigious board event, saw a win to the proven pair of David Hatt and Clinton Toohey.
They were declared the open champions with a gross score of 112 over the traditional 27 holes.
Well done to Clint and Hatty. The Nett winners, and thus winners in that event, with a fine score of Nett 99.2 were Secretary Bargar and Robert Hendy.
Very impressive shooting by this popular pair, who I’m led to believe have never played in the Foursomes before.
