Keen Contest For Prizes

Last weekends Mens competition was an Individual Stableford sponsored by Wool­worths Forbes, who provided hams for the winners. The field of 58 were keen to get their game in early to avoid the fore­cast thunderstorms with only a few groups caught in the conditions and a handful not finishing their rounds. The prizes on offer were great.

The Div-1 winner was Dave Mylecharane who was well ahead on his 40 points. He credits most of his success to a new driver setting which aided his hot back-9 scoring.

Runner-up was Anthony Alley with 38 points. He matched Dave with his back-9 score but was a bit untidy on the front-9.

The Div-2 needed a count back between four players to decide the winner after they all finished on 34 points. The nod went to Matt Duff who managed 18 points on the back-9 after an indifferent run of 1-pointers to start his round.

The Div-2 runner-up was Alex Mackin­non. He had an even round with 17 points on each half, which also include two ‘miss­es’ on each half although he finished the back-9 strongly.

The NTPs went to: 9th A Dukes; 18th L

O’Connor. The 3rd hole Super pin went to Paul Kay whose shot looked ‘miles away’ at 440 cm on a green that was hard to hit.

This Saturday, 20 December, is an In­dividual Stableford, sponsored by Forbes

Central Butchers. There is also a Stable­ford Medley on Sunday 21 December.

The Forbes Golf Club wishes all players a happy and safe Festive Season.
