Just in arrears were Lyall Gregory (26) 39, Don Atkinson (31) 36, and along with Steve Doherty and Kerry McCoy on 35.

There is plenty of run on the course and with no rain in sight one would expect good scores at present. The ball rundown went to 32 with Ron Reid, Bernie Dugdale and Walter Bortoletto to collect.

Pins for the round went to Mike Summerill at 2 for the longest putt, Greg Smith took out the 5^th, Adrienne Smith the 7th, Maxine Townsend the 8th, Jason Belt the 13th and Peter Fredricks took Stu’s ball at 15.

Thursday’s round of stableford with 87 teeing off was taken out in A grade Colin Habgood, the father of the club’s resident professional.

Colin (8) had 39 points just to show us he also knows his way around a golf course. Greg McCoy would be surprised to find himself in the runners-up spot with a round of 33. Finding his mojo, Paul Ryan (14) had a round of 39 to win B grade from Ted Beaton (15) 37 points.

In the lower grade Raimo Neuroven (24) took first place with 39 points from Keith Elphick (22) on 35.

On Sunday a two person ambrose medley was played and sponsored by Kel and Kaye McGoldrick.

“Playing to their age”, they said, and combining to have a round of 72/ 63.5 were Greg Smith and Kaye McGoldrick. 

Picking up the runners-up voucher were Mavis Davis and Urpo Ylinen, as they won the countback from Jason Belt and Maxine Townsend, Christine and Garnet O’Brien, and Paul and Gwen Maxwell – all a scorecard of 66 points. All received a ball for their efforts along with Kel McGoldrick and Lyn Grose with 67.50 who got their ball in a countback from Robyn Jones and Shane Anderson.

Thanks to Kel and Kaye along with Deidre Byrne for providing the snack for all to enjoy after the game.

This Thursday is Dolphin Day and on Saturday will be the club’s first medal round for the year.
