THE Macksville Country Club Golf’s Stableford event, sponsored by Busfurb, was won by Shane O’Neill, despite the coaching by playing partner and club stirrer Roy Rudner.

Runner Up was Scott’s Head big hitter Paul Donges.

Nearest the pins were won by Allan Clarke in A grade on both feature holes with Cameron Knox the only B grader to feature and Dave Poole and John Poole C grade winners.

Tuesday’s ladies competition was won by Cathy Cresswell, who consistently hits long and straight, while Jo Montague came in runner up.

It has been good to see Brandon Connor (Coffs Harbour assistant pro) make the trip down on Sunday’s for six weeks to coach sixteen new ladies in the finer points of golf.

Hopefully they will continue with golf in competition or socially as sporting club’s need all the support they can get.

The mid week competition was won by Liam Fuller with Mick O’Brien and Neil Cunneen runners up.

Saturday 20 November is a big day for the club with the Bede Clarke memorial three person Ambrose being played.

Bede and his late wife Dot were well known and respected in Macksville and produced three A grade golfers.

This event is open to good, ordinary and poor golfers.
