Runners-up Michael and Jo-Anna Stinson had a score of 44. Roy Simms and Noel Gaddes recorded a 43-point round to pick up a voucher. Three groups finished with 42 points and they were Uri Ylinen and Peter Dawe, Paul Maxwell and Paul McElhinney, and Garry Tierney and Don Lavery.
Ball rundown went to 40 points with six groups to collect and they are Andrew Donavan and Mark McFaul, Shane Anderson and Peter McGill, Stu Johnson and Andrew Bagust, Bryan Ussher and Keith Elphick, Geoff McCann and Geoff Harris, and Peter Delany and Geoff Wilson.
Pins went to Denys Tobin at 3, Keith Elphick at 7, Jason Belt at 5, Mark Nugent at 8 and 18th money shot, M Stone the pizza, no 15th as someone removed the pin and didn’t put the marker back robbing all who followed no chance to participate.
On finishing my round I located the marker on the 18th (thanks to however removed the marker you could have returned it to it’s rightful place).
On Saturday the wind played havoc with some players’ games, while others took advantage and used the big blow to advantage, with 105 players being tested. Garnet O’Brien came out on top in A grade. Playing off 8, Carnie had a round of 37, just the one ahead of Bruce Berry (4 handicap). Winner of B grade went to ‘Grandpa’ Trevor Hopkins (17) 36 points from Geoff McCann (15) 34 points. Scott Burley (22) as stated was the best of C grade with a 36-point round from runner-up Clyde Johnson (Beaudesert) 34 points. Ball rundown went to 30 with just the two given out to Paul Maxwell and Michael Briscoe.
