Beachport hosts golf veterans

The field was 61 at Beachport on a good weather day for the most recent South East Golf Veterans event. First Division winner was, as usual, a local, this time Steve Harris with a fine 40 points. It’s amazing that there always seems to be a home course advantage. David MacPherson, Mount Gambier, on 38, was runnerup and Ben Young, Millicent, 37, third on a countback. Second Division went to Penola’s Trevor Williams, 38 points, on a streak at the moment, from two Millicent boys on 33 – Rob ‘Tank’ Thompson and Bob Childs. NTPs were Ben Young and Kenny Milsop. The Ross Orchard Trophy went to John Kamp and Neal Rowe, John showing that he is still rusty from his long western trek. The ball rundown was to 32 points. The next event is at Bordertown on November 6 followed by Blue Lake on November 20.

GOLF VETERANS: Rob Tank Thompson, Bob Childs & Neal Rowe and John Kamp, Ben Young, David MacPherson & Steve Harris.
