Proserpine’s old soldiers of the fairway were treated to a fantastic day of golf, with greens staff getting all 18 holes up and running after a rainy weekend.  

Paula McQuatt said that twenty-three players enjoyed more of the social side of the game with not too many great scores recorded.

Ladies’ winner on the day was Lyn Muller with 69 net, followed by second placed Mandy Patterson with 78.  

The Men’s winner was Peter  Fox, 71, and second Trevor Paroz close behind with 73.

The short game was the real winner on the weekend with some great putters leading the day as winners Trevor Paroz, 26 putts, followed close behind by Lyn Muller with 27 putts.

Nearest the pins for the ladies went to Mandy on the ninth and 16th, and Elspeth and Lyn in the hole 13th.

The bag of chips got a pounding with ‘chip ins’ going to John Oates, Patrick Patterson, Albert Pini, Trevor Paroz, and Paula McQuat.
