Wednesday June 13 was a Texas Scramble for the men and while most did manage to read the instructions and follow them! Some however wanted to play their own rules and of course with the roving eye of our course marshal out there they were quickly questioned as to what game they were playing. With some sheepish grins on their faces the story unfolded, “Ahhh,” was the cry. “We thought we had read the instructions properly.” But alas they had not, team disqualified. Lessons to be learnt always read the game rules properly and if in doubt ask the golf shop team, they are always right! The winning team score of 79 points was Rob Schofield and Daryl Moss. Runners up Gary Kerr and John Anderson scored 78 points. Third place went to Greg Brinsmead and Scott Brown 77 points. Resort winners Gay Rogers and Ross Forbes 80 points. NTPs Rob Templeton, Rob Schofield, Gary Gemmola, Peter Burford, Ron Hedley and Richard Mierzejewski the jackpot.
