A field of 27 gathered to contest Saturday’s Stableford Event at Yea Golf Club.
Jono Ness (18) made the most of the excellent conditions, posting a personal best of 82 off the stick to register 41 points. Mick “The Barman” Sheather (26) who is becoming accustomed to his new clubs finished second with a great round scoring 37 points. Oh if only he hadn’t hit one into the dam on 15, it could have been better! Rick Wills (9) with 36 points collected third place and Brian Simmons won a three way countback from Tony Rule and Phil Armstrong for fourth. Sam Wright proved to be the dead dick taking home NTP on the 14th hole. Wednesdays winner Brendan Chenhall turned the tables to take out the Club Award.
The excellent scores were continued in the Ladies event with both Margie Wright (22) and Cindy Armstrong (35) coming back to the clubhouse with 40 points apiece. Margie got the nod for the win on countback and Cindy had to settle for second despite a great round. Christine Simmons (29) 35 points followed up her excellent mid week form at Kilmore where she won the day with 40 points, to take third place.
Next Friday 27th September is the annual Bruce Kindred Cup, a 4BBB event with a Shot Gun Start. Members and guests are most welcome and can book in via the whiteboard in the clubhouse or online.
Chooklotto saw a magnanimous gesture from winner of the $100 “Trout” putting the money on the bar to be enjoyed in the coming weeks. Minor prizes of kitchen assessories went to Tony Rule and Judi Newman.
