On Saturday colourful local identity Philip “Tommo” Thomson was Terrific & Dick Cleland was woeful, & today it was the other way around. Dick came from behind with 2 holes to play while fellow competitor Bob Taylor who was leading at the time choked on the last 2 holes scoring 1 point to Dick’s 6. Tommo was never in the hunt.

Tommo is Terrific

Colourful local identity, Philip “Tommo” Thomson scored a huge win on Saturday. Tommo & fellow competitor David “Jack” Webster both scored 22 stableford points on the front 9 to set up a challenging battle on the back 9.

Dick Cleland’s return to form was short lived with him taking the Mars Bar.

Tommo Survives Late Fade to win Saturday’s Par

Phillip “Tommo” Thomson was 7 up in Saturday’s par round after 15 holes and seemed set for a sensational score. Unfortunately an attack of nerves took hold and Phillip lost the next 2 holes. A nervous 4 foot put was holed for a half on the 18th which left Tommo with a 1 hole lead over playing partner Pat Hallion. Despite playing well Dick Cleland took the Mars Bar after suffering a great deal of jolly bad luck.

Tuesday Ladies Stableford

15th October, 2019

Only a countback could separate Andrea Rowe & Peg Gebhardt this week. Both came in with an impressive 35 stableford points. Andrea won the comp on countback with a 20 point back nine.

Other Scores were Sharyn Roberts 31 points & Judy Reilly 28 points. The extra comp was most 2 pointers and Andrea also got the chocolates in that with 9.

Peg Gebhardt won the nearest to the pin on Hole 8, a great shot considering she had a close encounter with a ‘Slithering Sam’ only a few holes earlier and should have been a bit shaky!!

Andy Phillips in Rare Form

Andy Phillips surprised everyone, including himself, with a blistering net 65 in today’s stroke round. Andy was 7 strokes clear of joint runners up, Trevor Maxted & Peter Weiss on net 72. Given the excellent conditions, the remaining scores were disappointing. Dick Cleland posted the worst score collecting the Mars Bar.
