Next week is a stableford event for a club trophy, the draws for both the Derros matchplay and the graded matchplay are on the board so if you are involved please get these games completed as soon as you can. If you have any problems talk to me to see what can be worked out.

Last week, the veterans played an individual stableford round for a trophy donated by Di & Derek Bardwell. Jim Dunn won the day with a solid round of 38 points. There were three runners up on 36 points, Keith Whitby Mark Stone and our regular visitor from Taree Peter Wildblood.

They were followed by Bert Newman and Denver Webb on 33 points and finally Peter Buettel on 33 points. Nearest the pins went to Elaine Murray on 4/13 and John Herd on 6/15. Ian Maggs took home the stayers award.

Wednesday was the third round of the Monthly Medal which was sponsored by Moyà Harris and Julie Paterson, thank you girls for your generous sponsorship.

I was told that 16 winging women played golf on Wednesday. It seems that no one was happy with their day's play. However Ev Blanch was the winner of the day with 31 points and Annette Cravino was Runner-up with 30 points. I can't believe the scores were so bad as the course is in immaculate condition.

Ball winners were Dale Rabbett 29, Effie Crawley 28, Moyà Harris also on 28 and Jill Carson with 27 points. NTP 4th@13th, Ev Blanch 6th@15th, Division 1, Ev Blanch, Div 2, Moyà Harris and Division 3, Dale Rabbett.
