Nowra Men
Great time of year to play golf. Weather perfect, golf course near perfect, only thing left to do is find a decent game of golf. Some have no trouble playing golf reasonably well all the time, while others don’t. It must be failing abilities which comes with excessive maturity. ‘Thankyou’ to Ian Stralow of Blackwood Kitchens and Joinery for his support.
One of those that has little trouble with the game is Peter Russell who is always in contention. Pete has proved his ability again with another ‘A’ grade win for his 38 pts. Leigh Quinn is another who always puts in, this time for second with 37 pts. A visitor in Brett Maher from Pacific Dunes made third with his 36 pts. Long drive went to Tony Hosler.
Young Kim Andrews fired up in ‘B’ grade with 42 pts for the win. Derek Trusler got things going with a solid 39 pts for second and Neil Dinnie made good his 38 pts for third spot. Rodney Crouch was the best for the long drive.
Another great score of 42 pts was returned by Brett McCoy to take first in ‘C’ grade. President Tony Hunter used his substantial authority over his game to bring home a solid 41 pts for second. Ronny McGuire had a good day to make third with his 39 pts and added the long drive as well. Balls went to 33 pts on c/b.
The Vets hosted the Highland visit on Tuesday for the usual grudge match and Nowra on their own track were victorious by 262 pts to 248.
The ladies had 28 players and the best for them was Anne Newton winning the ladies Medal with 34 pts and Lyn Hatchman was r/u with 33 pts. Balls went to 30 pts on c/b. The NTP’s at the 4th and 16th went to Gloria Davis and Sandra Marshall was closest at the 8th and 12th. Sandra won the ‘Jackpot’ as well.
On the Nowra only Men’s side, Tony Gilmore was good for the ‘A’ Medal and first place with 36 pts. Ernie Royston was the ‘B’ grade Medal winner with 40 pts. The best in ‘A’ grade was Liberale Luciano (Highlands) with 38 pts and r/u in ‘B’ grade was Stephen O’Neill on 39 pts. Balls ran out at 30 pts on c/b.
The NTP’s for the blokes at the 4th went to Roger Hardy, the 8th to Denis Mulvihill, Dave Smith was good for the 12th and Tony Gilmore was closest at the 16th.
