David Woods led the men’s field with 33 points, with Nick Apruzzese runner-up on 31. John Roser also scored 31 but fell short on a countback, while Gerald Lovell finished with 30.
Notable pin shots included Tiina Randmae’s hole 13 ace, multiple efforts from Robyn Whitham, and solid performances from Ken Granger, Nick Apruzzese, John Roser, John Oates, and Peter Lindsay. Nick Apruzzese also chipped in on hole 18 for a birdie, capping a memorable day for the club.
