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

Saturday saw a Stroke Nett Competition being the first round of the War Memorial Cup and the first qualifying round for the Borthwick Vase. The vein of good scoring continued across all the three grades. In the Juniors home at the head of the field was Russell Standage with a 69 from three others Peter Wardell, Jim Glass & Chris Abbott all on 70 by countback in that order.

Showing a continuing return to good form Brian Nixey was the leading Intermediate with a 68 from Richard Blunt on 69 and then on 70 by countback again David Wallace, Andrew Topp & David Hicks. Not to be out done the Joe Tiller was the best Senior on 69 from three others on 71 in order once more by countback Tony Park, Philip Hong, & Ray Barakauskas.

There were only 7 two's so the lucky winners shared the pool of $210 at $30 each. Karl Kitchingham was in the money with closest to the pin on 3 for $40 while Richard Peate was closest on 11 - note that neither made 2 or alternatively the did not put their money in - you decide!! The jackpot was not struck $160 carries forward.Nearest the pin on 2 for 2 sponsored by Linden Leaves was Henry Boyd while the Benjarong Thai Cuisine sponsored prize on 18 was won by Bruce Taylor.

Nett Eagles had grown to a pool of $160 and hole 5 was drawn and there were 3 lucky recipients Keith Hanham, David Youn and Paul Dunn. For the record Paul hit the green in two and sunk the putt for a true eagle on a hole where he does not get a shot. Good golf Paul!!
