Mackey makes 41



The V.V.Vs:

Unfortunately, after the resuming of competition last week, on Monday mornings, we did not have enough for a comp. this week.

We expect to resume regularly again from next week – let’s hope so.

Wednesday 20 August – Stableford:

With good weather, combined with a drying course, and of course member enthusiasm, a field bigger than recent competitions, produced results from eye-popping to very forgettable.

A really eye-popping score came from the blades of the in form member of our club, David Mackey.

David has found a rare vein of form to easily win the top prize, by posting a truly impressive 41 points.

Our runner up doesn’t have to worry about a too generous handicap, because, playing off two, PaulMason shot an eye popping 71 off the stick, to amass 34 points, ensuring that he takes home the second prize.

Great shooting to both of you gentlemen.

Balls extended all the way down to 30 points.

Only three NTPs went home on this day, they going to Glenn Forbes, (third), John Haynes, (ninth) and to that man, David Mackey, (15th).

Saturday 23 August – Stableford Shotgun Start:

After a busy morning of an extraordinary club meeting and a short working bee, the bumper field of 50 plus got down to the serious task of accumulating as many Stableford points over 18 holes as possible.

And, the most effective accumulator was Mr Consistent, Barry Maltman, who posted a very impressive 40 point result.

This earned Barry both bragging rights and the top B grade voucher.

But, Shane “Bomber” Campbell didn’t go home empty handed for his solid 37 point effort.

He claimed the A grade prize.

There was only one runner up declared, and that was Steuart Hawke, for his pleasing 36 point result.

Good work to all three gentlemen,

The ball rundown extended to 35 only.

All five NTPs on offer were claimed by the following: Shane Campbell (third), Noel Cross (fifth), Captain Whitehead (ninth), Jaiden Lever (12th) and to Geoff Sharp (15th).
