There were seven of those wonders of golf hit off in the 12 hole stableford event on Wednesday this week.
The winner with a great score of 29 points was John Kimber, possibility of some tests to be carried out on John if he has this type of score again.
The runner-up with a miserly 23 points was Victor Borkovic.

Winner: John Kimber

Well, on the subject of veterans, we would all like to wish Brett Hyland a happy birthday for his 60th on Sunday.
Hope the party doesn't last more than a few days mate; well done Brett you've surprised a few people.
Ladies' golf
The ladies held an 18 hole stableford on Wednesday this week with eight players hitting off.
Heidi Smith has been threatening to produce the goods for the past few weeks and on Wednesday it all happened with Heidi scoring a fantastic 45 points.
Well Heidi, that will see a large slice taken from the handicap, good on you.
Great to see our new golfers coming good.

Friday chook run
We had a total of 25 players for the chook chase this week although, with beautiful weather I thought we might have had more.
The scores were pretty high with the chook winners only going down to 20 points.
First place went to John Kimber on super 25 points after a count back with Joe Popovic and Ray William who also finished on 25 points.
Well done all.
Will have to do dastardly things with your handicap John, can't have two wins in the one week.
The Black Opal Advocate encouragement award went to S Woolridge.
The five points in the first game and 10 points in the second game made double sure of the chicken chips.
Results
Winner: John Kimber
