Michelle Dillon was in the ball pool with 31 points. Carol Dear was also in the ball pool with 29 points on a countback from Nola Robinson.

Jan Harry had a lovely shot on the 9th to win nearest the pin and score a birdie.

Jill Marshall was happy to receive a new pen for her not so good efforts. Next week 9am for 9.30am start.

Twilight golf was again played in warm weather and the winner was Col Wilkie with 37– 4.5=32.5 to have a good win over Pat Featonby 46–11.1=34.9. Nobody managed to get on any of the par 3s.

An old member has re-joined the club and good to see Dale Hall back.

Laughie 4BBB was held on a day that started well went downhill then picked up again weather wise.

The Brad Short/Jordan Simpson combo won with a great score of 45 points to win from Peter and Wayne Hall on 44 points on countback from Mark Henderson and Doug Meehan.

Ladies’ winner from the day was Karyl Hewitt and Toni Kilderry on 42 points with the runner-up being Jen Waterson and Jan Harry on 39 points.
