Bogged Down But Not Out

Despite the grim weather predictions, the day on the course turned out to be surprisingly pleasant, though a bit boggy underfoot. The conditions didn’t stop some players from posting impressive scores, with 13 men and 7 women participating in the front nine twice stableford. With fingers crossed for better weather in future outings, the results were as follows:

Ladies’ Results:
Robyn Whitham emerged as the winner with a solid 31 points, while Tiina Randmae finished as runner-up with 29 points. Rehab Hull had a commendable 28 points, securing the rundown spot.

Men’s Results:
Craig McClean topped the men's leaderboard with an impressive 37 points, edging out John Roser, who took runner-up with 36 points. Steve Mitchell and Gerald Lovell both earned 35 points, claiming the shared rundown with Louis Neethling who scored 33 points.

Pin Shots:
In the Ladies', Tiina Randmae dominated A Grade, claiming all three pin shots, while in B Grade, Vickie Wallace, Robyn Whitham, and Rehab Hull each earned a pin shot.
For the men, Craig McClean mirrored Tiina's performance, sweeping all three pin shots in A Grade. In B Grade, John Oates took two pin shots, with Barry Mortimer, Steve Mitchell, Phil Luckett, and Trevor Peroz also scored in the hole. It’s safe to say the task was anything but difficult for these golfers!

Chip Ins:
Unfortunately, there were no chip-ins today. However, Beryl kept everyone entertained by sharing how close she came to making one.

Draws:
The Membership Jackpot Draw has increased to $40, while the raffle prize was won by John Wallace.
