DESPITE the need for some rain, green keeper Phil and his helpers had the course looking a picture for Saturday’s Fortade Group sponsored Stroke event.

Rod Curtis found form to finish with a net 70 to win the Medal on a countback from Spoon winner Brad Fortescue.

Brad was the A grade winner, Michael Trisley B grade and Rod the C grade .

Straight shooters with nearest the pins were Brad 40 ( A) Michael Trisley (B) and Tony Grebert in (C)grade .

The Fortescues’ continued their winning form with Cheryl winning the Mid Week Competition ahead of husband Brad runner-up.

The run in the course was evident in the Chook Run with Noel Austin coming in 7 under par (normally a winning score) over nine holes and finishing third.

Jeff Gore was runner up with 8 under and Ronald McDonald the winner one shot ahead of Jeff.
