Veterans' golf

There was a large field again on Monday, September 20, and following the Level 2 rules, those who teed off first were back in the Clubhouse for lunch long before the later starters.

Many did not wait for prize-giving, making plenty of room in the lounge for separated seating as required. The third and last Putting round was the day's competition and the distracting windy conditions caused many to add unexpected extra putts to their score.

Results: Andrew McLennan, John Libby 28 putts; Michael Bonnici, Howard Anderson 29; John Saunders 30; Gyan Prole 31; Kathy Ashton, Avon Gordon 32; Bob Hoggard, Michelle Libby 33; Jim Evans, Mark Tomsett, Wendy Matutinovich, Mark Mora 34; Brian Baynes, Ken Purcell, Brian Robinson, Sarah Tomsett, John Purkis, Tina Berg 35; Kerry Lewis, Tim Parish, Bill Tiffin, Rodger Bagshaw, Liz Purcell, Bruce Rutter 36.
