The Div-2 was won by Liam Fraser with 69 nett. He had an unsteady start but then played consistently for his score. Runner-up was Nathan Roach on 71 nett. This was his first game for a while and showed he had not lost his touch.

Two of their group filled the last plac­es in the field. Lost among those were Dave Naveau (Wellington) and Andrew Brownlow (Peak Hill).The NTP’s went to: 9th Paul Pymont; 18th Hamish Steel-Park.

On the weekend the Mens golf participants were playing for the ‘Wilf Hodges Trophy’, sponsored by the Hodges Family. The event was contested by 54 visitors across an Individual Stableford event. The weath­er was perfect for good scoring but only a handful of players played to or bettered their handicap. The greens had maintained their pacey nature after the Mens Open the previous week which may have contributed to the results.

Winner of the ‘Wilf Hodges’ Trophy was Dave Mylecharane with 40 points. After a bogey start he played near flawless golf to finish a clear winner.

In the Stableford comp the Div-1 winner was Dave Mylecharane (40 pts). Despite two bogeys on the front-9 he turned on 18 points then carved up the back-9 to score 22 points. Runner-up was Adrian Matthews with 37 points. Scoring well on the front-9 but managing only 18 points on the back-9.

The Div-2 saw Jake Banks enter the winners circle, his 37 points was primar­ily due to his front-9 effort. Runner-up was Paul Pymont with an even handicap 36 points. He was slow on the front-9 but was warmed up for the back-9 where he man­aged 20 points.

The ball sweep went to 32 points on count back. Check in the Pro Shop to see if you were among the recipients. The NTP’s went to: 9th Reggie Murray; 18th Stephen Uphill. Both of them converted for a ‘2’ and were among the ten scored overall.

This weekend is the May Monthly Medal sponsored by Adept Plumbing. Sunday will have a Stableford Medley as a diversion from the ‘Mother’s Day’ celebrations.
