Wednesday the 4th of August Next Wednesday's Vet’s competition is the first round of the Grandma and Grandpa Trophy and is a stableford event, and as is the case every week, the Shootout continues. Week just been Winter golf is definitely with us. A slightly smaller than usual field turned out on Wednesday, but it was great to see thirteen ladies in the field, the biggest number for a wee while. Well down ladies and hopefully a good sign for the weeks ahead. Wednesday was a mixed pairs competition, a format that I enjoy. Well done Sandra Gee and John Keats for their narrow but meritorious win. Some great stableford results were produced given the testing conditions out on the course. Some wind was tossed in for a bit of variation. Well done Gus Gaskin (41), Dereck Scott (38) and Sandra Gee (34) the winners in their respective Divisions. The July Lucky Draw winner was Terry Golder. 17,18,19 November / 3-day Vet’s Mixed Pairs Tournament. The number of entries is steadily climbing and at the time of writing this week 52 players have entered the November 3-day tournament but still only a handful of locals.
