Down the Fairways

Kerang

ON Wednesday last week, it was good to have 13 ladies play as well as a potential new member – Kathy.

Michelle Dillon had a great round with 39 points and was also nearest the pin on the 9th. Rosy Laughlin was runner-up with 38 points and Jill Marshall was also in the ball pool with 37 points along with Jenny Waterson, 34 points.

Michelle had a birdie on the 16th and Jenny had a birdie on the 2nd.

Anyone is welcome to join us on a Wednesday to play nine holes or the 18. Assemble at 9.30am for a 10am hit-off.

Thursday R&R Stableford was very cold and most of the 25 players that entered finished cold, but just a few had some hot scores.

The winner was Gavin Teasdale with 39 points, from Terry Turvey with 35. K Chase, P Lloyd and G Pay all had 34. NTPs went to G Wyte 3rd, 5th went begging, K Chase 9th, C Manners 13th and K Lane got the 16th.

At Saturday Stableford, only two ladies and 17 men entered, on a really cold day!

Although Captain Jack (9) had 33 points and won the men’s competition on a four-way countback from K Chase, A Free and T Laughlin, G Wyte got the last ball with 31.

The ladies winner was Shirley Jenner with 31 points. NTPs went to C Manners 3rd, no one got the 5th, A Free 9th, Superpin (13th) T Laughlin and poor old 16th went begging again. Chris Gray has a new pen after his day at golf.
