THE Darren Pike sponsored Stableford was the first event played on the redesigned course.

Winner Max Graham couldn’t have had a better start with a chip in for an eagle on the par 4 first hole . He continued his good form to win with a net five under par 41. Runner up Brad Fortescue chased well to be one shot back .

TJ (Trent Fortescue) who plays off a plus 2 handicap, meaning he has to have two birdies to finish square with the card , won the longest drive .

Straight shooters with nearest the pins were TJ (A) , Nikki Laird (B ) and John Dowzard ( C grade ) . Extra NTP’s Brad Fortescue (A) , Peter Urquhart (B) and Shane O’Neil (C grade).

In the Mid Week Competition Steve Hunt came in ahead of runner up Clint Lavender.

To finish the year off there will be a four person Ambrose open to all .
