Saturday 4BBB aggregate Stableford
Only 106 players went out on Saturday due to early showers and lots of mozzies, the one’s that did found the course very wet on the back 9 but still a fun day out.
One of the shots of the day was from A Grader Andrew Kelly who on the 12th hit 8 iron and almost holed his shot with his ball finishing a mere 83cm from the hole giving him the nearest to the pin. Andrew then proceeded to miss the first putt, which was for the win, then miss the 2nd putt, which was for the square and finally sink the 3rd putt for the loss and to top it all off his playing partners forgot to wright his name on the nearest to the pin sheet so for that he got nothing.
The winning team of the day was Ashley Ekin and Alexander Holland with a great 78pts from Rex Bolte and Dave Carothers with 75pts and 3rd went to Dave Bruton and John Hogan with 74pts.
NTPs: John Wright Pro Shop 3rd – Andrew Harris – 12cm; Peter Campbell Physio 9th – Neil Gore-Brown (Coolangatta) at 239cm; SeaFire 10th – Don Schlussler at 99cm; the Pro Pin 10th went to Terry Winser at 317cm; SeaFire 12th – Dave Bruton at 280cm; Bean Scene 17th – Terry Hicks at 530cm and the 2nd shot 17th was Terry Bull at 92cm.
