A brief shower early in the morning had players wondering whether the 4BBB Team of Two event would go ahead, but common sense prevailed and all sixteen teams took to the course.
Conditions soon cleared, and the competition produced excellent scoring, with just ten points separating first and last place. Leading the way were Tessa Aitken and Mark Richards, who claimed victory with a superb 47 points.
Runners-up were Jim Sherrington and Vic Feldman on 45 points, edging out Gary and Elspeth Scotford on countback. Other strong performers included Vickie and John Wallace (44 C/B), David Woods and Linda Wardroper (44 C/B), Nick Apruzzese and Allison McCarthy (44), Paula McQuat and Tiina Randmae (43 C/B), Gerald Lovell and Robyn Whitham (43 C/B), and Rehab Hull and John Roser (43).
In the Pin Shots, standout players included Tina Badenhorst, who took both holes 2 and 7 in the Ladies A Grade, while in B Grade, Linda Wardroper (hole 2), Rehab Hull (hole 7), and Tiina Randmae (hole 9) were on target.
For the men, Craig McLean (hole 5), Gary Scotford (hole 13), and John Roser, who impressively holed out on 16, took the A Grade honours. In B Grade, David Woods (hole 5), Steve Mitchell (hole 13), and Wilf Herweg (hole 16) claimed the prizes.
Chip-ins were recorded by John Roser, Gary Scotford, and Grossy, while the Membership Jackpot now climbs to $80 for next week. The Weekly Raffle was won by Craig McLean.
Next week’s competition will be the Melbourne Cup Stableford, starting at 8am on November 4. Players are reminded to check the flyer from Leanne, bring along their best hats for the competition, and bring nibbles and cash for the sweeps.
