Falla, Bardwell win Vets Golf

THE Veteran Golfers at Gloucester played a strange event on Tuesday, 18 November, in the form of a Stableford Multiplier wherein the score for the pair at each hole is the multiplicand of the two individual scores.

It’s a form of golfing quicksand during which, on this occasion, Gai Falla and Derek Bardwell prevailed.

The fact that Peter Sate turned in an impressive 39 individual points and earned nary a mention in the combined trophy list is a testimony to the problematic nature of the event generously sponsored by Ros and Peter McIntyre.

All that said, the event, a Four Ball Better Ball Multiplier, was won by Gai Fall and Derek Bardwell with 81 points between them.

They were closely followed by the runners up, Chris Steele and Tony Berecry with 80 points.

Well back were ball winners Will Bosma and Ken Kelly 73, Elaine Murray and Anne Wand 68 and Tony Burnet and Jim Dunn 65.

Nearest-to-the-Pin trophies at the 4th and 13th holes were won by Anne Wand and Derek Bardwell.

At the 6th and 15th holes that honour went to Elaine Murray and Ken Kelly

This last Tuesday, 25 November, the Gloucester Veteran Golfers played an Individual Stroke event sponsored by Max Shepherd and next Tuesday they play an Individual Stableford.
