WITH rain sweeping across the course in a sometimes horizontal manner and all stock being moved to high ground, only the ultra-keen members at Emerald Golf Club sloshed to the first tee.
The VGL November Monthly was on the plate as was the Medallist of Medallists gong for the right to represent the club at Long Island later this month.
With this in mind, Peter Clowes (17) put his foot down and left all others in his dust, or in this case, wake!
He came in with a net 63 to win B Grade overall and the right to play at Long Island on 23 November.
A Grade was won by David Mackey (16) with net 69.
Leigh Morison (17) was the only other player to score his handicap with 69 as well.
Broc Reynolds won the Stockdale and Leggo nearest the pin on the 4th, Clowes the 7th, Ian Cranston the 12th, Leigh Morison the 13th and Ken Hill won the pro pin prize on the 18th.
The ladies’ medal went to Brianna McCoy from Constance Whitlock, wielding her new clubs into second place.
Wednesday’s Overly Fragile Golf (OFG) was a Stableford event which produced a dead heat between Moss Fuller (25) and Bobby Kennedy (20) who both amassed 41 points.
As it was a brilliant day in brilliant conditions, the scoring was very good. John Piggott (22) and Mick Petrie (29) both had 40 points, Ken Sumsion (24) had 38 while Ian Scott(27) and Mike Litchfield (9) both had 37.
Next Saturday is a Stableford event and as the new management is getting the course up to speed a full swish of golfers are expected to be there defying their handicaps and abilities to card record scores.
