WITH spring now well advanced, our volunteer workers are busy working towards the completion of the reversal of holes seven and eight.

There has been some back filling and drainage underway, and the club is very grateful to all those members involved.

The showers over the weekend were very welcome to freshen up the fairways and perhaps slow down a little of the run, however this is yet to be seen.

Saturday

STRONG winds and some sharp heavy showers did not affect the scores in a stableford event.

Club president, Vince O’Brien, came in with a magnificent 41 points ahead of runner-up, Bruce Taylor, on 37 points and Barry Oldaker on 36.

Nearest the pins went to Taylor on the second and 11th, the fifth went to Allan Flavell, the eighth went to O’Brien, Alex Walter on the 13th and Oldaker on the 15th.

Oldaker holed the longest putt on the first, George Donaldson on the 16th and 18th, and Steve Nattrass on the 17th.

Birdies and ferrets was won by Oldaker.

Friday

A NINE-HOLE stableford event over the inward nine saw Heather Wilkinson take out the win with 21 points from Allan Hitchcock and Stewart Turner, who both returned with 19 points.

 Taylor was nearest the pin on the 13th, while the longest putt on the 18th went to Alex Walter.

Wednesday

AGAIN, in sunny conditions the regular players battled out a stableford event over 13 holes.

In a three-way tussle, Peter Irvin took out the win with 29 points from Turner on 27 and Oldaker on 26.

Taylor had a day out with the novelties, claiming nearest the pins on the second, eighth and 13th, and the birdies and ferrets.

Irvin was nearest the pin on the 5th and our unbeatable putter Alex Walter won the longest putt on the first.

Tuesday

ON a perfect day for golf and with the course in a wonderful condition, the ladies played a stableford event over 18 holes.

Scores were reflective of the conditions with Heather Wilkinson winning on 40 points ahead of Sue Irvin on 37 and Toby Salter on 35.

Nearest the pins were awarded to Irvin on the fifth and Salter on the eighth and 13th.

The longest putt on the first was won by Salter, while Wilkinson won the 18th along with the birdies and ferrets.

This week

GOLF will be played on Friday, Saturday, Tuesday and Wednesday, so come along and enjoy the course and the good company - as they say, golf is good for the soul.

Saturday’s event will be a stroke event with a noon for 12.30pm hit off, all welcome.
