ON Thursday, we welcomed visitors Lyn and Ross Banks along for a hit.
Barry Quayle was back in form winning with 36 Stableford points closely followed by Howard Hankinson on 35 in second place. Good rounds, fellas.
Third place went to Lyn Banks on 31, and we had two Mr Risky winners somehow, with Garry Bourke and Jeff Fush tied on 27 apiece. NTP with 350cm on the 17th was Barry Quayle.
Beautiful sunny weather on Sunday tempted a few more players out onto the course.
Howard Hankinson carded a score of 40 despite hitting one over the levee and a few other hiccups. Well done, Howard.
Second place went to the ever-improving Jeff (I didn’t see where that one went) Hatfield with 35, a winning score on any other day.
Bill Slee rounded up third place with 33 and Max Hodges took home the pink ball with 20 points. Good to see Max back playing.
Jeff Hatfield also took home the wine with a NTP 125cm on the 17th.
