The Vines September 2024 – Frank Sampson conquers the mud !

25 Members and one guest took the trip to The Vines for our last game before Clare.

The weather was good with no rain although there was a fair bit of wind wreaking havoc with some shots. Also, due to extensive course works / irrigation upgrade, there was a lot of mud about, sticking to shoes and buggy wheels.

It was a tough day for all with nobody playing to handicap ! As Darren said, we have to do better next time !

The Clubhouse food was excellent 😊 

RESULTS:

1st = Frank Sampson with 35 points;

2nd = Al Macdonald with 34 points;

3rd = Marty Goldsworthy with 33 points.

The next 6 place-getters also received a ball each.

NTPs:

3rd 0-20HC: Chris Skewes 1.5m, 21+HC: Liza Wedge 7.0m

6th 0-20HC: Darren Griffiths 8.0m, 21+HC: Leon Mulder 2.3m

10th 0-20HC: Tony Carter 6.0m, 21+HC: Nobody

South Lakes September 2024 – Benn Cox Coasts Home

RESULTS:

1st = Benn Cox with 38 points;

2nd = Rob Pearce with 37 points;

3rd (on count-back) = Vera Mortimer, also with 37 points.
