Despite gloomy weather predictions and it being exceptionally chilly on the tee at 8.15am Saturday turned out to be a reasonably benign day on which to pursue the golf ball. Notwithstanding the winter conditions and the course playing long a feast of good scores were posted.
Of interest to one of our members, Neil Ockwell, whose health does not allow him to visit as much as previously will be the result of the Sams Cup (we look forward to catching up with you soon Neil). I think it fair to say Dave Morrison ($40) blitzed the field with the best round of the day, for left or right handers, accumulating 42 points and being 7 clear of the next finisher Michael Ambrose on 35 ($25) on countback from Niven Boyle.
Also recording a good score, not that far behind Dave, was Richard McElrea ($40) leading the Juniors home with 41 points while Graham Clark (showing continuing good form - $25) won the countback on 40 points from Graham Panckhurst and Philip Annan - guest of brother Marcus. The high level of stableford points was maintained in the Intermediates with Ben "Iron man" Frampton ($40) notching up 40 points to be in front of Shane Gloury (second on countback $25), David Robinson (making a guest appearance in intermediates???) , Mr JD, and Mark Sanders all on 39.
New member Paul Vercoe ($40) has quickly become accustomed to the course carding 39 points to head the Seniors from Dave Clark ($25) on 37 and Rod O'Brien (whose handicap is continuing to plummet) on 36. The two's pool collected $260 but there were 17 winners (subject to audit) so a return of $15 may be expected. The jackpot was not struck while closest to the pins returned $40 to Simon Yorke (3) and Michael Ambrose (11).
Nett eagles continue to carry forward after Sue Mullins drew out 10 which was unclaimed. Nearest the pin on 18 for two sponsored by Linden Leaves was Dave Clark.
