A dry, quick course greeted 34 golfers this week, with Tina Badenhorst edging Kath Borer by a point in the ladies’ event and Wilf Herweg returning from a spell to win the men’s competition.

Badenhorst finished with 39 points ahead of Borer on 38. Jacqui Wall and Annie Yakas followed on 37, with Elaine Philpott and Leanne Alexander on 36. Allison McCarthy and Jenny Hounsell scored 34 apiece, while Lyn Muller rounded out the rundown on 32.

‍

Herweg came back like a thoroughbred, posting 44 points to finish seven clear of runner-up John Roser. Gerald Lovell and Larry Muller each scored 35, followed by Ray Close on 34. Nick Apruzzese, John Oates, Peter Lindsay, Ken Granger and Gary Scotford all finished on 33.

‍

The ladies’ A Grade pin prizes went to Lyn Muller, Elspeth Scotford and Alexander, while Yakas and Wall collected B Grade honours. Larry Muller and Gary Scotford featured in the men’s A Grade pins alongside Granger, who claimed two prizes. Gary Tebbatt, Oates and Lindsay took the B Grade pins.

‍

Wall chipped in twice, with Borer, John Strelec and Lindsay also holing out from off the green. Tessa Aitken and Neil Cawthorne received a ball each as the NAGA recipients.

Philpott and Close won the best-hat prizes. Thanks to everyone who supplied food and prizes or volunteered their time, and congratulations to the sweep winners.

The November Monthly Medal was scheduled for Tuesday 10 November, giving players another chance to test their form and chase a win on the course.
