Wednesday Veterans

FORTY three veterans enjoyed fine conditions last Wednesday playing a stableford for the Cec Pedron trophy. Scores were very close with one shot separating several players, the best being Phil Anderson on a countback from an unlucky Dave Andrews, both with 40 points. Third spot was taken by the man himself, Cec Pedron with 39 points, also on a countback. The sharpshooters on the day were Brian Roberts on the 3rd/12th hole and Steve Seymour on the 7th/16th. OBE (over bloody eighty) was Merv Marsden with 32 points.

Thursday LJ Hooker Chook Run

GOOD fields continue to appear on Thursdays with over 30 players again this week. Scoring was unbelievable, players on 21 points missing out completely. Winner with 25 points with a great two under par round was Brendon Walker in the ‘skins’ group. Well played Brendon. Would you believe then came two players both on 24 points, Ken Squires beating Trevor Abbott on a countback. In fourth spot was Tom Hadwell, his 23 points beating young Reid Brown on a countback. Speaking of Reid, he has been a regular on the course during the holidays and on Wednesday he had a “hole-in-one” on the par three seventh in the weekly chook run. Congrats Reid. Finally, the April LJ Hooker umbrella was decided this week and the winner with 77 points was Tony Lattimore. Ken Squires was second with 73.
