It is generally said that it is a good thing to get away to a flying start. That is, so long as you do not find yourself in a count back at the end of the day. Andy got away to a flyer scoring 9 points on the first 3 holes but the gloss wore off as the morning wore on. Five points to Dick Secomb on the 6th hole of the day (the 9th) suddenly saw Andy under threat and when finally they both finished with 21 points Dick won the count back easily. The only other player was Dick Cleland who took the Mars Bar with 17.
Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel was far too good for the opposition scoring a runaway victory with 40 stableford points. Runner up was recently returned global traveler, Chris “Critta” Waters fully 5 points back.

Michael “Tickers” Tickner won Saturday’s stableford on a count back from Andy Phillips, both scoring handicap equaling 38 points. Andy was playing immaculate golf on the back 9 but a stumble at the 17th cost him dearly. Eddie “The Flying Dutchman” Van Keulen was only 1 point back on 37 despite complaining incessantly during the round. Of concern is the long tail of players who were unable to score 30 points or more.
