A strong field of 42 players—16 ladies and 26 men—turned out for Tuesday’s stableford competition, enjoying much kinder conditions after the gusty weather of the weekend had eased.
The day saw a standout performance from Allison McCarthy, who claimed top spot on the ladies’ leaderboard for the very first time with a score of 39 points. It was a terrific achievement and one that many hope will be the first of many.
In the men’s competition, David Woods edged out Laurie Daiken and John Oates on a countback after all three finished on 38 points.
Other highlights included pin shots, which went to Chris Bailey and Peter Lindsay on 7, Laurie Daiken and Steve Mitchell on 13, and Grossy and Peter Fox on 16. For the ladies, Leanne Alexander and Linda Wardroper took the honours on 7, Leanne backed up with Jan Shuwalsow on 13, and Anna Winterbourn and Heather Luvis on 16.
Wilf Herweg and David Woods managed the only chip-ins of the day. Meanwhile, Ken Granger claimed the raffle prize and Laurie Daiken rounded out a strong week by winning the members’ draw.
Next Tuesday, the club will be hosting the Whitsunday Vets, promising another enjoyable day of competition.
