“BEWARE the injured golfer” is a term often heard on the course and again it has rung true.
After bumping into Norm Cue at the supermarket and hearing his tales of woe, I now need to report that he managed to come out last Thursday and claim first prize with a solid 36 points.
Bruce Bird claimed second prize with 33.
Nearest to pins (NTP) went to Geoff Miller on 2, Norm Cue on 8 and Bruce Bird on 11.
Conditions did not look too good on Saturday but a few brave souls showed up to play.
After enduring a substantial shower early, conditions quickly improved to provide a fine day of golfing.
Trevor Farrant took first prize on countback from Brenton Smyth, both with good rounds of 37 points.
Mal Appleby came in 3rd with 35. Trevor also did well in the NTP, playing the most accurate shots on 2 and 11 with John Power closest on 8. Sunday saw the start of the mixed pairs knockout where Sandra and Dennis Griffiths came in best with 64 from Jennie Goulding and Garry Hooper with 63.
In the individual men’s Stableford event, it was Kevin Crane with 34 with Jeff Mason on 31. NTP went to John Dickins on 2, Jeff Mason on 8, Mal Appleby on 11 and Trevor Farrant on 17.
