ALL was set for a fabulous day of golf at Emerald Golf Club, as the players lined up in two like they were looking for an ark. It seemed that later into the evening on Saturday night, an ark might have been handy.
After the pairing, scoring and swearing had been done Con Whitlock and Ken Hill (8.75) held sway with a net 60 1/4; to narrowly defeat their playing partners in Peter Clowes and Leigh Morison (8.5) who were only 1/4 of a stroke back on 60.5.
Ben Hardie and John Carvill (8) came in next with 63 followed by Damian Gray and Travis Gebes (5.75) on 64 1/4.
Hill won the Stockdale and Leggo NTP on the 4th, Ben Hardie the 7th, Broc Reynolds the 12th, Dennis Fuller the 13th and Peter Clowes wrapped up a grand day by walking away with the pro pin spondulicks on the 18th.
After a titanic struggle down the last fairway in the ladies’ event, it was the ever-consistent pairing of Brianna McCoy and Irene Scott who held on for a meritorious victory.
Wednesday’s Opulently Flat Golf saw Mick Petrie (30) play a glorious round of golf to come in with a net 65 in the stroke event. Compatriots, Moss Fuller (22) and John Piggott (23) came in second when they both carded 66 and Graeme Fergus (21) continued some good form to come in with 69.
Next Saturday at the ever improving course a guest day has been scheduled. If there are any golfers or would-be golfers out there who would like to have a slog on the course, contact Dennis on 0447 748 435 for more information.
