Great to see 11 players turn up for the Veterans Stableford nine hole competition on Wednesday.

Some good steady golf saw four players finish on 18 points.

Pat Smith, Col Cooper, Vida Hanvold and Dave Schafer were involved in the countback and Vida Hanvold was the winner with all the others receiving a ball.

Well done all.

Results

Winner - Vida Hanvold

Balls to - Pat Smith, Col Cooper and Dave Schafer

Friday chook run

Good to see a slight increase in the numbers for our weekly chook run with some players starting to get back from holidays we should start to get back to our normal numbers again soon.

We had a total of 23 players for the day.

The early players again made the running this week and gave the others something to chase with Col and Pat on 19 along with Paul and Pat Smith.

Vida and Robina had a healthy 20 with Trevor Hudson leading on 23.

Trevor looked pretty settled in the driver’s seat until Joe Popovic returned his card with a neat 24 points to pip Trevor by one.

This was the way it finished with Joe winning and the last chook going to Nigel Webb on 18 points.

The winner of The Black Opal Advocate Encouragement award was Brian King with a very unacceptable 11 points.

Results

Winner - Joe Popovic

Chooks to - Trevor Hudson, Robina Boardman, Vida Hanvold, Cheryl Hudson, Col Cooper, Pat McErlain, Paul Beaver, Pat Smith and Nigel Webb.

BOAE - Brian King

Sunday two person Ambrose

A good turn out for the 128 hole two person Ambrose on Sunday morning at 7am.

There could have had more by some people don’t read the boards at the club or the newspapers and turn up late.

Joe Popovic and Felix Monch looked the goods after the first nine holes and led Col Cooper and Ian Hegarty by three strokes and seemed to be cruising.

Not knowing how the others were going Col and Ian thought they were playing against the wining team and were determined to try and change things on the second nine.
