It was an early start for the Proserpine Veterans Golfers who travelled by bus to Home Hill for the latest round of the Whitsunday Veterans competition.
The Home Hill volunteers provided a warm welcome, with a well-prepared course and delicious morning tea and lunch. The greens, as always, proved tricky for some, but spirits remained high throughout the day.
A total of 69 players took part, including 22 ladies and 47 men. Proserpine was strongly represented with eight ladies and ten men. The Proserpine women performed particularly well, with Robyn Whitham taking out the win on 38 points—an excellent result that some attributed to her recent lesson with Nathan. Four other Proserpine women featured in the ball run-down, including Jenny Hounsell (31), Beryl Nosworthy (30), Leanne Alexander (30), and Paula McQuat (29).
In the men’s division, Les Gordon of Bowen took the win with 34 points, just ahead of Proserpine’s Barry Mortimer, who was runner-up on countback. Proserpine men also featured in the ball run-down with Peter Fox (32), Laurie Dakin (30), Ken Granger (30), John Roser (30), and Gary Scotford (28).
Pin shots were won by Robyn Whitham and Jenny Hounsell (in the hole) for the ladies, and by Neale Mahoney, Rob Byles (in the hole), Guy LeBlowitz (in the hole), and Doug Boss for the men.
Thanks to Ken, our bus driver, for a safe and smooth trip. Good luck to all heading to Wintersun next week!
