Proserpine Veterans Golf 12 September

Tiina Randmae continued her fine form after last week’s magnificent hole-in-one, taking out the September Monthly Medal. It was great to see so many members on the course enjoying the day, with Tessa Aitken also shining with an excellent score of 69.

Geoff Harrison won the Monthly Medal for the men with 70 on countback from Louis Neethling.

In the rundown: Allen Roberts 71, Ken Granger 71, Nic Apruzzese 72, Gary Scotford 72, Peter Lindsay 72, John Grosskreutz 73 and Colin Hounsell 73 – very close scoring.
For the ladies: Tiina Randmae 63, Tessa Aitken 69, Kath Borer 74, Paula McQuat 74, Vickie Wallace 74 and Leanne Alexander 76.

Nearest the pins: Colin Hounsell and Peter Fox on 2, Craig McLean and Trevor Paroz on 5, Barry Mortimer and Louis Neethling on 9. For the ladies, Elspeth Scotford took the A Grade on 7, while the B Grade went to Vickie Wallace. Tiina Randmae, Linda Wardroper and Paula McQuat all shared the honours on 4 – clearly too easy!

Tiina also had the least putts with 29 – it was certainly her day.

Last Thursday, players travelled to Pioneer Valley for the first round of the Croker Shield. Unfortunately, Prossie was beaten by 28 points. The return leg will be played on home ground on 30 September, giving us a chance to redeem ourselves.
