Normally by the month of May I have clothed my legs in longer trousers however the increasingly settled clement weather encouraged me on Saturday to the view that the time to dispense with shorts had quite yet arrived. Having said that as the round drew to a close it was noticeably colder from the knees down!
The benign conditions that prevailed obscured the fact that a Stroke round was in progress inevitably causing some scoring to blow out howsoever notwithstanding the competition of the day a high standard of golfing excellence was achieved. This was most notable in the Juniors where Alan Masters recorded the best round of the day a nett 63 to be 3 shots clear of Don McEwan on 66 with a further 2 back to Dean Sweetman in third.
The score of 69 was popular in the Seniors with all 3 placegetters posting the same score with final positions decided on countback being Tony Park from Alan Scott with Peter Sim third. Martin Toon as a regular morning player showed good form in the Intermediates with a nett 68 from another morning aspirant David Kerr on 69 with Frank Garthwaite & Graham Watson on 70.
The top 16 scores qualified for the matchplay rounds of the Denniston Cup and it looks like an even par score of 72 on countback was the cut off mark. Watch for the draw to be posted both in the locker room and on the website. A pleasing aspect of Saturday was that there seemed to be an improved pace of play but more work is still required.
The two's pool was $170 and there were 18 winners - so the best you can say is you just got your money back at $9.45 each. Kevin McSoriley captured the jackpot for 2x2 which stood at $80. Nearest the pins were worth $30 and won by Tim Evett at 3 and Tony Park at 11. The Linden Leaves sponsored prize for closest to the pin on 18 for 2 was won by Gary Hooper. Nett Eagles had accumulated to $50 and when hole 16 was drawn David Barley & Takahiro Koyama split the money.
