Nobody won the NTP on the 4/13 (where were you Elaine?) and Chris Pritchard narrowly won the 6/15 NTP from Denver. The Stayers award went to guest player from Victoria, Bruce Morris, and Dale Rabbett put in her third card to gain a handicap, well done. A reminder that next week is the Pritchard T/D stroke event and Treasurer's putting comp, with the Vets v Ladies challenge put back to the 25th.
