A stroke round generally brings out the worst in most "weekend" golfers but occasionally participants rise to the challenge and play beyond their expectations. While Saturday was the first round for Club Champ Qualifying match of the day allowed some relief by being structured on the best nett.
Playing from the blue tees is always a challenge for the Seniors but it was great to see some of the club stalwarts making it onto the leader board along with a new member. Russell Fildes a new member fresh from the North Island (Te Marua) led home the field with a nett 71 on countback from the man in the cart David Robinson with Charles Whitwham ahead of Brian Ronan on 73 again by countback. It was also good to see Russell's dad down caddying for him as well.
In the Intermediates Nick Sekeris, playing at an earlier time than usual, opened with a nett 69 to be in front of William Wootton on 70 by countback from Lawrence Wong with David Barley and Michael Sidey close behind on 71. Scoring was also of a high standard in the Juniors with Jeff Suddens posting a 68 from Grant Borrie on 69, Stephen Boyd on 71 and Lindsay Buxton on 72.
There was considerable interest in the two's situation in light of the growing jackpot. There were 13 winners who shared a pool of $207 (approx. $15.92 while Mark Dunn collected $405 for having 2x2 - well done Mark we may now see you on the course more frequently?! The nearest the pins were worth $50 and won by Andrew Hopkins (3) and Andrew Topp (11).
Closest to the pin on 18 for 2 sponsored by Linden Leaves was won by Dean Corry while in a day when jackpots fell Warren Glass secured the nett eagles prize of $230 when hole 15 was drawn.
