Another excellent field of 42 players including 2 guests, Bryan Mcleod from Queenscliff GC and Terry Duffy from Thurgoona GC who are enjoying our Qld “winter”.

June Monthly Medal Winners were Anna Winterbourn and Steve Mitchell.

Ladies’ placegetters:

Anna Winterbourn won on the day with a very creditable 70 nett,  

on a countback from Kathryn Borer, next came Tina Badenhorst with 71, Elspeth Scotford with 72, Jenny Hounsell with 74, large gap then to Tiina Randmae with 77 on a countback from Tessa Aitken, Mandy Patterson with 78, Paula McQuat with 79 and Robyn Whitham with 82.

Nice to see Moya Bradley back on the course after a long break.

Men’s placegetters:

Steve Mitchell continued his good run with a 65 nett, handicap gone there, followed by Louis Neethling with a 68 - same story.

Losing on a countback to take 3rd place - Billy Jesser with 68, handicaps going everywhere here, next came Gary Scotford with 70, Michael Cragg with 71 on a countback from Ron Jamieson, Ken Granger with 72 on a countback from Barry Shuwalow, on a countback from Peter Lindsay on a countback from Barry Mortimer.

Very competitive scores in the men’s game with only 7 strokes separating 1st place from 10th.

Least Putts: Elspeth Scotford putted best for the ladies with 29 putts, while Billy Jesser excelled with 24 putts, edging out Gary Scotford with 27 for the men.

The ladies’ NTPs went to Mandy Patterson and Kathryn Borer on the 2nd, Anna Winterbourn and Kathryn Borer (AGAIN) on the 13th, Jenny Hounsell and Jan Shuwalow on the 16th.

The men’s NTPs went to Warren Deighton and Billy Jesser on the 2nd, Nic Appruzzese on the 13th, Gary Scotford and John Oates on the 16th.  

Mandy Patterson tried to take out the Men’s A grade on the 13th, because no A Grade men made it so we gave her a ball for that one anyway.  

CHIP INS:  

Gary Scotford on the 2nd and 10th, Billy Jesser and Bryan Mcleod on the 5th, Louis Neethling on the 16th.

Elspeth Scotford was the only lady to chip in, she did it on the 1st.
