Kerang

AT Thursday’s R&R Stableford there were 28 golfers taking part and the course was just beginning to dry out after all the rain.

The winner was Chris Waterson, continuing with his fine form of late, scoring 35 points on a countback from the evergreen Ken Williams.

In the ball pool, P. Featonby, Col Wilkie and Ross Nesbit all finished on 33 points. The last ball went to G. Wyte on a countback at 32 points.

NTPs went to T. Laughlin on the 3rd, R. Nesbit on the 5th and 13th, G. Teasdale on the 9th and C. Waterson on the 16th.

In the Visual Appeal four-person Ambrose, there were 44 players for this annual event. This was a very good turnout and the weather played its part by providing a sunny day.

The winning combination was Doug Meehan, Blake Shay, Paul Grayling and Dale Robertson with a score of 65 (7.625) 57. 375.

Runners up were Deanne Free, Kelvin Free, Braydon O’Bree and Dale Jager with a score of 67 (7.125) 59.875.

Nearest the line was Jo Martin.

The best dressed team was the Swanettes.

In Saturday’s grand final Stableford, there was a small field of 12, with seven playing in the morning (to enable them to watch the AFL Grand Final) and five in the afternoon.

The winner was Graham Wyte with 36 points from Nola Robinson on 31 points, and the last in the ball pool was Rob Dick with 29 points.

NTPs: 3rd A. Morton, 5th and 13th D. Meehan, with the 9th and 16th going begging again.
