If there is one thing other than earthquake to get the nerves jangling it is a stroke round!! Saturday saw the first of 2 rounds for the War Memorial Cup and qualifying for the Borthwick Vase. Match of the day was stroke three grades.
The Juniors lead the way with Ian Matthews ($30) recording the low round of the day with 64 one ahead of David Blair ($20) on 65 with Clifford Chan on 70. Good rounds were also posted by Stewart Sinclair and Jim Glass with 70's. Scoring was just as competitive in the Intermediates where Brian Tyro ($30) was out in front with 68 closely followed by Richard Blunt ($20) on 69 by countback from Tony Millar, Steve Hicks, Ross Campbell, & Leon Thom. It was great to see Leon back on the course playing so well after his recent health problems.
Garry Forward ($30) headed the Seniors with 69 from Ken Fregus ($20) on 70 with Tony Park 71 and a host of players on 72 - Bruce Taylor, Henry Pearson, & Edward Henley. Wonderful to see good scores from two young players Henry & Edward.
The twos pool grew to $276 which is just as well given there were 24 winners each recouping just $11.50. The jackpot topped out at $500 and was split between Ken Fergus and a young Simon Cup player Sam van Hulten. A $70 jackpot carries forward for the nett eagles. Ending the week on a positive note Peter Davey put his second in the hole on 18 to collect the Linden Leaves prize.
Good luck in the coming week as stroke round 2 commences.
