ONE of our popular events was held recently, the Taffy and Jean Carpenter Mixed Pinehurst, which attracted 18 pairs, many of whom were married couples putting their marriage on the line, such is the nature of the event!<\/p>\n
However, I believe it is character building for our lovely ladies to have to hit balls from positions they\u2019ve never been in before! Well done to Helen and John Powe, who were victorious with a nett score of 73, just holding out Cheryl Johnstone and Gordon Atkins by \u215d of a point. Helen and John remain happily married.<\/p>\n
Tuesday February 27, Men\u2019s 4BBB Stableford<\/strong> John Bowman and Henry Wasiak were a further point back in 3rd place. Lindsay Powell also had a profitable day by scoring an eagle on the 13th which got him the ProPin and a NTP on the 5th. Other NTPs were won by Henry Wasiak and Simon Grundell.<\/p>\n Wednesday February 28, Ladies\u2019 Stroke<\/strong>
\nGlorious conditions prevailed for the 144 men entered, with Ron Hansen and visitor John Mitchell from Portland GC taking out top honours with a score of 49 points, a point clear of the two Johns, Kennedy and Cranston.<\/p>\n
\nMarch medal day brought out 61 ladies, plus another nine in the optional stableford comp.
