Paul McElhinney (15 handicap) took pride of place from Warren Fuller (15), both scoring 37 points. Division 2 was taken out by Mark Nugent (19) with a score of 39 points as did Shane Anderson (31). Others to show good form were Peter Farrell 36 points, and Rod Robertson and Dirk Prummel with 35.

Ball rundown went to 31 with just one player to collect and that was Denis Starr (Campbelltown). Pins went to Neil Duffus at 3, Tommy Gibbs at the jackpot ticket hole No.5, Col Wormleaton the 7th, Michael Bennett at 8, Peter Farrell the pizza at 13, Mark Nugent at 15, and Col Wormleaton cleaned up with the money shot at the 18th.

On Saturday a field of 99 challenged for the monthly medal stroke event sponsored by Nambucca Local Liquor. Again a countback for the A grade with Rodney Robertson and Allen O’Brien, both having 71 nett. But Allen had trouble on the 16th, carding an 8 on the par four. 

In B grade Dennis Ashton produced the goods with an 82/65, with Bryan Ussher chasing him home with 86/68. In the lower grade Peter Fredricks put together an 83/64 to collect his medal with Garry Beggs runner-up 89/68.

Best gross scores went to Duncan Brown (Wingham) 76, B grade Neil Duffus an 84, and in C grade Colin Easey a 92. Just missing out were Ted Beaton nett 69, and Derek Wynn and Rod Brown nett 70.

Ball rundown went to 75 nett with John Slade, Chris Thorndike and Urpo Ylinen the fortunate ones. Nearest the pins saw Neil Duffus pick up Sladies Ball at 3, David Bird the 5th courtesy of Nambucca Newsagencies, Greg Smith always takes away a ball and this week it was at the 7th, Peter Farrell won the 8^th, Dennis Ashton the pizza at 13, Ted Beaton the 15th, and Col Easey the healthy money shot at 18.

The first round of pennants took place on Sunday with a mixed result. The club’s open division copped a hiding with a 4/1 loss while the division 3 team had a 4.5/0 .5 win – both matches were against Woolgoolga. Marli Loomes, just 12 years of age, played for the visitors and is one to watch after winning well on Sunday.

For Island Sunday it was the Syd Campton Memorial Day with Syd’s two sons on hand to help give out the prize pool. They were joined by Syd’s playing partner for many years, Val Last, who helped in the organising of the event quite some time ago.

Winners were Rodney Robertson and Linda Fuller with a score of 45, from Trevor Peck and Louise Ainsworth 41 points (who got the countback from Glenys Thompson and Phillip Woodgate). Picking up balls were Robert Bond and Heather Gray, Robin Robertson and Mavis Davis, Andrew and Jenny Johnston, and Urpo Ylinen and Henny Oldenhove. Pins went to Garnie O’Brien and Robert Bond while Urpo Ylinen took out the pizza. 

Thursday’s round will be a two person ambrose while on Saturday there will be another chance for the Top Gun Shot Out sponsored by Nambucca Leagues and Sports Club with a stableford event.
