SATURDAY’s Stroke event, sponsored by Steve Ash, was for the Monthly Medal and Spoon. Jake Fuller came in winner of the Medal (net event) with Mike Simpson best score on the day winning the Spoon.

Michael Trisley was runner up for the day coming in behind Jake on the net score.

Straight shooters with nearest the pins were Max Graham (A), Darrin Turner (B) and Michael Trisley (C grade).

Steve Ellis won the Chook Run (26 points for 9 holes), with son Curtis two shots behind.

Rod Curtis’ handicapping system reduces Steve’s handicap by 7 shots (1 for each point over 20 and 1 for winning) and Curtis by 4.

The Mid Week Competition saw the Fortescue clan dominate – junior Jordan Welsh winning with uncle Brad and grandfather John Fortescue just behind.

Jordan’s brother TJ (Trent), one of the best golfers from Macksville, has been home for a break, and parred the course on Saturday.

He is one of very few golfers whose gross score is better than his net.

He plays off plus two, meaning he has to add two to his final score.
