The Week That Was.......

Saturday clearly indicated Spring is in the air (shorts may soon be the attire for the legs of the Club Captain) but with a hint of times past by way of a late frost. In any event it was appropriate the conditions were clement because the first 9 holes were extremely slow!!

Again good scoring abounded throughout the 3 grades for the Stableford Competition. Winner of the Seniors by countback on 38 points was Mark Dunn fresh from his winter efforts on the football (soccer) field, Philip Hong was in second with Andrew Gillespie in third on 36. Making the best of the early conditions David Wallace returned 40 points to win the Intermediates on countback from the inform Alan Scott with Kerry Haycock making an unusual appearance in the lower grade third on 39. Warming up for the Presidents Grade competition Jin Ho Neoh had the best round of the day with 41 in the Juniors with a host of 40's on countback - Peter Wardell, Clifford Chan, & Graeme Thompson.

The Two's pool was worth $220 with 10 winners each getting $22, the Jackpot of $95 was not struck and carries forward. The Nett eagles Pool of $95 was not struck after hole 16 was drawn so it too will continue too grow. Nearest the pins on 3 & 11 were respectively pocketed by Tony Park and Ross Campbell $50 each while nearest the pin on 2 for 2, sponsored by Linden Leaves, was won by David Clarke, the Benjarong Thai Cuisine voucher for nearest the pin on 18 for 2 was collected by Simon Yorke who stuck it in the hole!

Campbell Cup matches continued with Brian Ronan & Bentley Seeto being successful as were Ken Fergus and ASlan Masters. After a hard fought match BG and I lost $2 to Keith Love (who claimed to be sick and played in a cart) and his friend from Bridge Pa Tim Southward. Officially Keith has now been relieved of all duties in organising an away trip to Hawkes Bay - if lucky he may still be in the team.
