Colin Smith Returns, Takes The Prize.

But not by much! Peter Wilson ran him to a countback, just missing out on yet another Green jacket, both notching up 39 points. A pretty good effort on this course.

Alan Humphries filled third place in “A” flight with a well played 35 points.

In the “B” flight, Larry Slattery, after a couple of quiet games, came roaring back to the top with a fine 37 points to beat the, seemingly, ever present Alan Walker in second with 33 points.

Tim Shaw has made his presence felt in the short time he has been here, and once again figured in the results, finishing third with 32 points.

So it was, after some late entries and later withdrawls, we set off with 25 golfers in three buses and a car, up the 331. An easy trip and arrived at a course that did not look all that busy.

This was a surprise, as we were aware that another Golf Bar had made a late change from another course and their 6 groups were given a start time of 20 minutes before our groups.. Hats off to the starters…The two Societies were sent off from different tees at the allotted times, and had combinations that did not require a crossing over. So we all completed our rounds in about 4 hours.

Weather was fine and a nice breeze most of the time, and the course, as always was in excellent condition. We often complain that the rough is too harsh, but found none of that trouble here. The greens ran smooth and true, and, as usual, moist in the front if you left it short.

It was only some of we not so good putters who had problems trying to putt uphill, not the fault of the greens..

We had near pin markers on each of the Par 3s and this time, all were won.

Peter Wilson nabbed A2 and B6, Ken Page A6 and Selwyn Yates B2.

The chicken and chips were followed by presentations by Len, and the Green Jacket seemed a little roomy on Colin’s slim frame..

Another great day out at a fine Golf Course for the Links Golfers.
