Down the fairways – Cohuna

Cohuna

The weather really turned it on for the R&R crew last Thursday. A big thanks to all those that helped with the pre-round barbecue, which obviously fuelled big Dom Baxter, who came in with 39 points if you don’t mind.

Bruce Bord did well with 36, to be followed by Brenton Smyth with 34. NTP’s went to Kevin Crane on 2, Geoff Hall on 8 and big Dom on 11 and 17.

The fine weather continued on Saturday where Don Magick fashioned 40 fine points to take the sponsor’s prize. Ron Farrant scored a solid 39 from Allan Walkington and Joel Woolhouse with 36.

NTPs went to Bruce Bird on 2, Geoff Hall who is making the 8th his own, Ron Farrant on 11 and Allan Walkington on 17.

Sunday was the first round of the men’s club championship. First round A grade leaders are Scott Beattie (75), Kevin Crane (76) Dom Baxter and Paul Robinson (77).

For the B Grade, Rhys Bradley and Peter Doyle (72), Darren Barry (73) and Geoff Miller (74).
