Saturday was our Monthly Medal round sponsored by our great partners Telescope Tyres and Batteries/ Hankook Masters with our daily sponsor being AA Blatch and we sincerely thank Allan and Susanah for continuing the Blatch family support of the club.
In A Grade there were two very good rounds of two over recorded with the inform Jack Elliott defeating Rob Hey, coming back to near his best, on a countback to claim the award. Jack’s handicap demands that he shoot these rounds, but it still requires full concentration and great ball striking to accomplish. Rob is capable of shooting low and although he’s been in the mid 70’s of late this was an excellent round.
Other good scores on the day were from Aaron Wilkie with a 74 and David Stevenson still maintaining his purple patch with a good 75. In the nett event Rob managed to take out the event with his 64, 3 better than David on the day.
The competitive Griffins Leading Edge putting competition was won by a slick Rob Hey with 23 putts which again proved the winners of the day are always prominent in the putting count.
