Dick Cleland Demolishes Field
Fancied A-graders Missing
Bookmakers’ favourite David “Robbie” Robinson & colourful local identity & crowd favourite Philip “Thomo” Thomson missed the 1st round of qualifying due to injury. There is some concern that Thomo may also miss the 2nd round.
B grader Dick Cleland took the honours today beating the A graders off the stick. Dick had a 83 gross net 65 to win the handicap round by 8 strokes. Runner up was leading A grader Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel with 84 gross net 73. Gordon “The Chook Man” Kakoschke & the genial Bob Perry had net 74 followed by Neil Webster 75, Matt Opperman & Andy Phillips 76, The mercurial Bob Taylor 77, Darryl Venning 79 & Andy Spackman 80. Peter Weiss had a dnf after losing a ball on the 12th.
