Veterans Golf Report 30 October

Despite the warm conditions this early in the season, 31 dedicated players turned out for Tuesday’s Stableford competition.

It was great to see Allison McCarthy continue her winning form, taking top honours in the ladies’ field with a superb 41 points. John Wallace also impressed, carding a strong 40 points to lead the men’s division. With more hot weather on the way, players are reminded to stay hydrated and take care on the course.

In the men’s results, John Wallace finished first with 40 points, followed by Nic Apruzzese on 38, who edged out Peter Lindsay and John Oates on countback. In the ladies’ division, Elspeth Scotford scored 39 points to place second behind McCarthy, while Rehab Hull and Beryl Nosworthy both finished close behind on 37.

Nearest the Pin winners were Craig McLean and Trevor Paroz on Hole 5, Barry Mortimer and Nic Apruzzese on Hole 9, and Gerald Lovell and Trevor Paroz on Hole 13. For the ladies, Elspeth Scotford and Jacqui Wall took honours on Holes 5 and 9, with Jacqui Wall holing out on the ninth, while Anna Winterbourn and Linda Wardroper claimed Hole 13.

Chip-ins went to Steve Mitchell and Jacqui Wall.

Next week’s competition will be a Two-Ball Ambrose.
