This week’s Mid Week Whisky Trot saw Chris West (12) take Division 1 with 41 points and John Veal (15) in second on 40 points. Division 2 had the top three players tied on 37 points, when separated on count back Dennis Smith (19) finished in first place, John Wisker second playing off 23 handicap and John Herbert third.
Saturday’s stableford saw some good scoring in Division 1 but judging by the final points Division 2 players found conditions a lot harder with John Wisker taking pride of place this time with 34 points, Malc Williams (16) finished second on a mere 30 and Dennis Smith (19) was almost too ashamed to take third with only 28. Five handicapper Kevin Garrett returned 39 points to take Division 1 while Bill Hinchen (7) came out second on count back with 37 points, holding off Kasey Tuckey and Ian Ball with the same score.
The Four Ball South African Scramble was definitely a game of two halves with the winning team of Kevin Garrett, Bill Hinchen, Hugh Morrison and Derek Wright returning a total of 358 points, scoring only 80 on the front nine and a massive 278 on the way back. John Veal, Dave Wright, Nick Punter and Ian Ball came in second a mere 150 points behind.
