WITH the thermometer hiding away at home in front of the fire, the members at Emerald Golf Club faced a start for the match play qualifying round with icicles hanging from their 7 irons.
The pressure was on and Ian Scott (25) felt the pressure and rose to the challenge to win overall on a countback from Peter Glasscock (13) after several stages of conjecture and puzzlement.
Scott also won B Grade while Glasscock, as has become his habit lately, headed up the A Grade crowd.
The only others within a bull’s roar were Graham White (16) and Leigh Morison (17) who both carded 72.
Glasscock was nearest the pin on the 4th and also picked up the pro pin shekels on the 18th.
John Fisher was nearest on the 7th and 12th and Leigh Morison was nearest on the 13th.
After tallying up the ladies’ cards, it emerged that Davina Aitken was the star with a strong win from Brianna McCoy and Brodie Reynolds tied for second place.
On Wednesday when the fossils rolled in for Opulently Fashioned Golf (OFG) they found, to their collective delights, that it was a round of stableford.
Leigh Morison (22) played a blinder to win with 44 points with Moss Fuller (27) next with 40 followed by Bobby Kennedy (21) with 37.
