Tuesday: Andy Phillips Dominates Small Field

Only 4 players braved the inclement weather on Tuesday, but the weather had no affect on Andy Phillips who scored a magnificent 40 stableford points. The handicapper had no hesitation in deducting 1 stroke from Andy’s handicap.

The rest of the field were unable to match Andy’s brilliance with runner up Russell “Gud The Good Guy” Wenzel managing just 35 points, while colourful local identity Philip “Thomo” Thomson scored just 31 & Mars Bar recipient Michael “Tickers” Tickner scored 30.

Jack Webster Takes Mars Bar

David “Jack” Webster is proving more mercurial than Bob Taylor, oscillating between first and last on a regular basis. Jack managed just 24 stableford points well clear of 2nd last placegetter.

Scores were not brilliant but the steady Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel won with a handicap equaling 38 points. Runner up was Bob Perry who beat colourful local identity Philip “Thomo” Thomson on a count back. Both scored 36 points but Bob followed up a front nine of 11 with a back nine of 25. One more hole & Bob would have won.
