The Week That Was...........

Saturday saw an outstanding effort from Peter Law in that he recorded a two on each of the par threes. This feat while not unique occurs only infrequently with the last player being Peter MacDougall - maybe it's something in the name?? In any event well done Peter as you collected the jackpot worth $200 and along with the 14 other winners $12.35 for each 2.

The conditions on Saturday were ideal for encouraging low scoring and across the grades there were some good stableford points posted. In the Senior grade a countback was required to separate Nathan Gilbert, in first, from Charles Whitwham who both scored 40 points Nathan with a gross 68 and Charles with a 73. Chris Richmond was a close third with 39 from Grahame Buist on 38.

In a return to form John Dickson (Mr JD) shot 39 from a gaggle of people on 38 by countback order Ross Campbell, Tracy Tatom (making a rare appearance in the intermediates!!), David Youn and Ahmad Hosseini. 38 again proved popular in the Juniors with all four positions having to be settled by countback - Grant Adamson, Graeme Thompson, Dermot Martin and Richard McElrea in that order.

Nearest the pins were won by Ian Dobson on 3 and Lindsay Buxton on 11 - $40 each. Rod Maxwell was the winner of the Linden Leaves prize closest for 2 on 2 and Stu Kemp was the recipient of the Benjarong Thai Cuisine voucher for closest to the pin on 18. Nett Eagles was struck again $75 to be shared between David Barley (again) and Jeff Suddens with hole 14 being drawn.

In the Top Dog competition the two David's (Robinson & Blair) moved through to the final 8 with a meritorious 4/3 victory over Shaun Xiong and Tony Park. In a Godby match Alan Scott made it two losses in the weekend with a 2 up win over Shaun Xiong. In the Page Trophy Grant and Janet Osborn were successful over David Youn and Young Kim. A plea from the committee is please know when your matchplay games are due and then post the result on the draw - by custom the loser usually enters the name of winner into the next round.
