Saturday was the day for the older members of the club as those of the age of 60 or above competed for the J O Jameson Cup in a Par handicap format. As is always the situation the competition was especially close and required a countback before a winner could ber determined.
Continuing his run of good form (and costing me a bottle of Pinot Noir in the haggle) was Don Forbes with a score of +3 from Warren Glass while the well performed Jin Ho Neoh ran third with +1. Congratulations to Don who this week departs on his annual pilgrimage to follow the sun, we look forward to his return around October - a sure sign that summer will be near!
The younger members of the club amused themselves with a stableford competition over three grades. In the Seniors Joe Tiller prevailed over returning member Tim Evett by countback with 38 from another "renewed" member Guy Day on 37. We look forward to seeing Tim and Guy around the club over the coming weeks.
Following on from a strong showing in the Trowel weekend David Barley was the best of the Intermediates accumulating 37 to be in front of Patrick Guo, Dermot Martin & Raymong Liong all on 36 in that order on countback. Watch out for both Patrick and Dermot in forth coming competitions as their results have been particularly steady especially Dermot whose handicap is currently in free fall - it could well be the time he is spending on the course.
Mark Thompson was the best of the Juniors with 39 from Stewart Sinclair on 36 with club stalwart Peter Guthrey third on 35. It is great to see Peter playing more golf and in the same vein it was wonderful to see Jimmy Keegan at the Club two weeks in a row.The two's pool reached $190 for the 12 winners each receiving $15.88 each while the opening jackpot of $30 was not struck.
One of our Junior members Edward Henley (playing with his dad Mark) was the winner of the Linden Leaves sponsored prize on 18 for two. Nearest the pins were worth $20 collected by Dennis Maguire on 3 & Brownie Kirkwood on 11 (he missed the putt, obviously the broomstick isn't perfect!!). Nett Eagles pool had risen to $250 where hole 16 was drawn with Jim Glass and David Blair being the lucky recipients (N.B. Don Forbes did not put his money in!!).
In addition to fare welling Don Forbes we also said good bye to Marty Holman who is heading back to Canada and Vancouver Island. We wish Marty all the best while Patrice stays with us for a wee while longer we look forward to seeing them later in the year.
