With the greens in recovery mode after the recent renovations, it would have been expected that the scoring would have lower than they have been, but this hasn’t been the case.  

In the par event the previous weekend Adam Danilczak came in with +4 to win the A-grade, while Mitch Grange had a +5 to win the B-grade.  

In last weekend’s Stableford event a good field of 58 players made the most of the weather, but none more than Ed Stanford who continued his recent good form by winning the A-grade with his 40 points, while Brendan Abbey took out the B-grade with his 41 points and Doug Oldfield had 38 points to win the C-grade money.  In Sundays Stableford event Wayne Wilson blitzed the field by five points to take the money with his 44 points.  

This weekend the Guzzler’s Mug is up for grabs once again, and hopefully we will see another good turnout.

Dad’s Army for August 28

Fourteen troops faced the starter in the Dad's Army competition last week on what was a fairly good morning for golf, although the going was slow after the recent rain and the greens still recovering from the coring, so were a little difficult to putt on. However, that didn't effect Bernie 'The Fence Hopper' Puckett who managed 16 points to take away the money this week. Three players had a score of 15 points so they each received a ball for their efforts. The scoring ranged from 16 down to six points. Good golfing 'boys' until next week.

Mid-week competition to August 31

Winners: A-grade: Steve Scroope (10) 22 points. B-grade: Herb Lawrence (19) 23 points. Ball winners: B Oldfield 22, W Whyte, B Oldfield, W Wilson, B Oldfield 20, M Bray, W Wilson, B Oldfield, W Whyte 19 and D Douglas 18 points.
