AT Emerald Golf Club last Saturday, for the annual community guest day, conditions sparkled, the weather sparkled, some golfers sparkled and some golfers’ games turned to blancmange.
There were many guests there for the day, and it was good to see some past members ready to re-join the club with the new management doing wonders with the course.
The occasion did not deter Peter Glasscock (17) because he won B Grade and the day with a net 65 and showed all how to play the course.
Ken Hill (16) headed up the A Grade crowd when he played to his handicap for a net 70.
Of the others, it was Ian Cranston (17) who finished with 66, Dave Mackey (17) with 67 and Ben Balfour (18) finished with 68
The round of the day belonged to guest, Michael Foote, (1) with a 2 over par 72 for a net 71.
The ladies event was won by Amanada Foote (29) when she showed the others how the game should be played. The only one to get within sneezing distance was another guest Gennifer Isherwood, who was several shots back in second place.
The Stockdale and Leggo nearest the pins (NTP) went to Dennis Fuller on the fourth, Leigh Morison the seventh, Graeme Fergus the 12th, Rob Sumsion the 13th and of course it was left to Michael Foote to collect the pro pin lolly on the 18th.
Wednesday’s Obviously Fascile Golf (OFG) was a stableford event, and it resulted in a draw between Ben Balfour(18) and Dennis Fuller (14) who both finished with 41 points and could not be separated although several, not too complimentary and slightly painful ways of parting the two was suggested. Ken Hill (12) and Brian McCoy (34) both finished second place with 37 points.
