Former member & Club Champion Neville “Ned” Kelly returned to the club for a game on Saturday & lived up to his namesake’s reputation as a bushranger.
Ned came in with a blistering 44 stableford points to win by a clear 6 points. The handicapper acted swiftly deducting 0.9 from Ned’s GA handicap. Runner up was Andy Phillips with a handicap equalling 38 points, ahead of a tightly bunched field consisting of Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel 37, Mark “Mouldy” Millward 36, colourful local identity Phillip “Thomo” Thomson 36, Eddie “The Flying Dutchman” Van Keulen 36, Richard Cleland 34, the mercurial Bob Taylor 34, Andrew Rac (Gladstone Golf Club) 33, Michael “Tickers” Tickner 33 & David “Jack” Webster 33.
The only exception was Andy Spackman who, despite perfect conditions, could only manage 26 points thus comfortably securing the Mars Bar.
