I am sure as move through October the weather must improve sometime soon!! Saturday was designated Members Invitation Day with the match competition being Pairs Aggregate Stableford. Once again the individual and combined scoring was very impressive.
Leading the field with a colossal 81 points were the brothers Gillespie - Andrew and Bryan (who was visiting from Waitikiri) with 42 & 39 respectively. In second were the pairing of Steve Bayard & Terrance Caldwell (44 points) on 78, Chris Abbott & Michael Hadley in third on 77 from Grant Mitchell & Alan Scott and Roy Newburn & Rex Price both on 76 by countback in fourth and fifth. Grant Mitchell shot his best round for some time recording 45 points and a gross 78!!
The two's pool climbed to $270 and there were 14 winners each receiving $19.30 with Andrew Gillespie and Graham Purkis striking the jackpot of $55 being $27.50 each. Nett eagles drew hole 3 and was not struck. Nearest the pins on 3 & 11 were Andrew Gillespie on 3 and Simon Yorke on 11 - $35 each. The Benjarong Thai Cuisine voucher for closest to the pin on 18 for two was won by Paddy Helmore. In what topped off an absolutely fantastic day for Andrew Gillespie he won the Linden Leaves sponsored prize for closest to the pin on 17 (for a change) for two.
For the record Andrew won the Match of the Day, the two's jackpot (shared), a closest to the pin and the Linden Leaves prize - although I was not present I trust someone convinced him it was in order to shout!!
Our over 50's team made their 09 debut on Sunday with solid rather than spectacular rounds being registered by Andrew Gillespie who shot 68 , Chris Richmond and Dennis Maguire. Good luck to the team and their manager Garry Forward for the rest of the season!
