SALLY Higgins finished her stroke round of Tuesday 26 November as the only player with a “6” in front of their score, in the first round of the Veteran Golfers Summer Competition.

The event, played in fine hot and steamy conditions, was an Individual Stroke and Putting competition sponsored by Mark Stone; it drew a good field of Veteran Golfers despite the summer weather.

The winner of the event was Sally Higgins with a net score of 69; Ken Kelly’s 82 off the stick was the top gross score on the day.

Balls were won by Paul Griffith, Chris Steele and Bill Murray 71, Trevor Sharp 72, Elaine Murray 74 and Max Shepherd 75.

Carolyn Davies won the putting competition with a mere 28 putts in her round.

The Nearest-to-the-Pin at the 4th and 13th hole was won by Ken Kelly after he finished 960 cm from the flagstick.

At the 6th and 15th holes Ele Fraser, 1010 cm, and Jim Dunn, 640 cm, were best of the tees.
