AS the days shorten, the air gets heavier and the golf scores aren’t quite what we wish for, how wonderful to have the weather we had this past weekend.

It was terrific to see a good field on Saturday making the most of the sunshine and the course conditions, which are excellent at this moment in time.

We are closer to having the seventh and eighth-hole reversal come into play, with a trial coming up next weekend to test it out.

We are very grateful to Dale and James for all the hard work they have put into this project.

Saturday

IT was wonderful to have past member, Alois Kniebess, from Murray Bridge join us for the stableford round.

As previously mentioned, it was a perfect day for golf and one player made the most of it.

Winning on the day with a fabulous score of 39 points was Mark Miller, finishing four points clear of runner-up, Barry Oldaker, and John Wilkinson on a countback with 33.

Next best were Allan Flavell and Peter Irvin.

Nearest the pins went to Alois Kniebess on the second, Dale Grambeau on the third, and the 13th to Miller.

Miller also holed the longest putts on the first and the 17th, Sue Irvin on the 16th and Marie Cook on the 18th.

Grambeau won birdies and ferrets, and Cook the hit the longest, straightest drive on the ninth.

Friday

IT was another good field for a Friday with this competition being a stroke round over the club’s original nine holes and will be the format for Fridays until daylight savings recommences.

The winner was Bruce Taylor with nett 32 from Barry Oldaker on 33.

Nearest the pins went to Peter Irvin on the second and Taylor on the 13th

George Donaldson had the longest putt on the first and John Wilkinson had the straightest drive on the ninth, while Taylor took off birdies and ferrets honour.
