A good field turned out for the individual stableford event last Saturday. Being the last weekend event prior to the club’s championships, players were no doubt eager to sharpen their play for the upcoming event. Appreciation to the sponsors of the day in Kay Webb, Linda Kelly and Margie Locke who have sponsored this event now for a number of years.
Lynette Ludlow returned to the winner’s circle after she returned a very good score of 37 points. Her back nine was by far the best and gave her 21 points for the day’s round. Runner up went to Racheal Hendry who also had a better back nine and finished with 35 points for the day. Kay Webb also returned 35 points, but being one of the sponsors for the day, opted out of the awards.
The ladies run down went to 30 points with Neta Thouard and Trish Fittock collecting for that score on the day. Ladies pin shots at the par 3’s were won by Racheal Hendry at 3 and 17 and by Neta Thouard at 12.
The men’s event looked likely to be a low scoring affair until Eric Ree returned a score of 38 points to take the win. Since returning to competition golf, Eric’s game has been slowly improving and the win was well deserved. Greg Fraser, on 37 points, withstood a three way count back for runner up.
For the men’s run down, Cal Smith (37), John Green (37), Kev Rowling (36), Max Smith (36) and Chris Binge (36) each left with a trophy. Matt Waterworth collected for the pro-pin at 5/14 and the pin shots at 3 and 17. Kev Rowling held the pin at 12, and remaining pro-pins went to Matt Burgess at 1/10 and Richard Reardon at 9/18.
Next weekend is the start of club championships with two rounds to be played, first on Saturday and second on Sunday. Time sheet for both days will remain the same. Saturday’s stroke round will be sponsored by Mark and Racheal Hendry and the second round on Sunday will be sponsored by Ron and Annelle Batterham. Time sheet for the weekend is on the board at the club.
