SATURDAY’S stableford event sponsored by Midcoast Storage was won by Rae Neill with a 6 under his handicap 42 points.

This win was well deserved as Rae has regularly been seen practicing on the course since joining the Club earlier this year.

Runner up with 41 points was junior member Jordan Welsh.

Being tall, young and flexible Jordan will see shots come off his handicap quicker than he might like.

Along with Gus Single these two 14 year olds are A grade prospects.

Straight shooters with nearest the pins were Allan Clarke, Steve Hosking, Steve Riddell, Dale Bunton and back from the wilderness Roy Rudner with two NTPs.

Roy, a popular member of the Club (and stirrer), who quietly mentioned it was his best game in months, taunted those behind him on the score sheet about how easy the course was playing.

The ladies Tuesday competition was won by Carmel Fruedenstein with Lorraine King runner up.

It’s good to see the assistant pro from Coffs Harbour on the course on Sunday mornings teaching a group of ladies the finer points of golf.

Hopefully these ladies will continue on to the Tuesday and Saturday competitions.

Gary Clarke asked to thank all those volunteers who prepared the path for Monday’s concrete pour to the first tee.

While Gary is always thanking others he is the one that does the organising and a lot of the work.

Special thanks Gary from the golfers.
