A GANG of golfers at Emerald Golf Club last Saturday played a 4BBB match play round.
Also a small but talented band of members fronted up for a round of par.
Ian Scott (29) blitzed the field to sashay in with +6 on his card. He stood atop the podium with the victory over B Grade and the entire field.
In A Grade, Conrad Whitlock (16) starred with +4 to win easily. Dave Mackey (16) had +3 and Ben Balfour (19) and Dave Jennings (20) both carded +1.
Mike Litchfield won the Stockdale and Leggo nearest the pin on the fourth, Dave Mackey the seventh, Jeff Isherwood the 12th, Steve Town the 13th and Litchfield also pocketed the cash on the pro pin 18th.
