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.
Pat Hallion starred in what was a high scoring day, scoring 42 stableford points to win by 3 points over Trevor Maxted, Andy Phillips & Tommo, who were all on 39. With exception of the Mars Bar recipient all scores were 30 or better.

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 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.
Only a few ladies braved the cool, windy conditions this week. Andrea Rowe was the victor with a handy 32 points. It seems that Peg and Shaz were having their own competition to see how many trees they could hit! Full results as below:
Winner – Andrea Rowe – 32 points
Runner Up – Peg Gebhardt – 29 points
Sharyn Roberts – 25 points
Judy Reilly – Mars bars
Extra Comp was mystery holes and Peg Gebhardt won this with 19 pts
David “Jack” Webster won today’s stableford on a count back from Pat Hallion. Both scored creditable 39 points. Runner up was Kobi Wenzel on 38 rounding off a great result at the top of the field. The scores fell away from there with the Mars Bar going to the lawn mowing specialist Dick Secomb with 28 points.
Despite a high North Westerly wind the scores were generally good in today’s stableford. Pat Hallion scored 38 points to finish just ahead of Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel on 37. Even the Mars Bar score of Chris “Critta’ Waters was not too bad in the conditions.
