THE Gloucester Veteran Golfers turned out this week on Monday, 4 November to avoid any clash with club activities related to the Melbourne Cup, giving Rod Burrows the chance to shine two points clear of the field.

It was a good sized field and the event, an Individual Stableford, was played in warm, fine conditions on a course in top condition.

The winner was Rod Burrows with a score of 38 Stableford points.

Balls in the associated ball competition were won by Ian Maggs 36, Colin Ware, Trevor Sharp and Amanda Robertson 35, and by Peter McIntyre and Rick Paff 34.

The Nearest-to-the-Pin at the 4th and 13th holes was won by Bill Murray who finished 322 cm from home; at the shorter 6th and 15th holes Gai Falla, 835 cm, and Derek Bardwell, 723 cm, were closest.
