IT WAS a hot and steamy day on Saturday, 22 November, for the Avon Valley Meats sponsored event with local Ben Veitch taking home the meat tray in the top grade while two visitors from Bondi were best in the lower two grades.
The course has dried considerable over recent weeks and shots seem to be travelling a tad further as a consequence.
The event was an Individual Stableford and the winners in the three grades were Ben Veitch, 40, in A grade and our Bondi visitors in B and C grade: Brian Webster, 38, and Ron Dowse 44. Balls were won by Ron Dowse 44, Ben Veitch, Paul Griffiths 40, Brian Webster 38, Geoff Reynolds and Brendon Murray 37 and Stacey Groves 36.
The Nearest-to-the-Pin at the 4th and 13th holes was only good in the top two grades with Paul Blanch and John Parish doing the job.
At the shorter 6th and 15th holes the three grades were represented in full by Steve Williams, Greg Wiggins, and Graeme Marsh.
The long drive trophies at the 8th and 17th holes were won by Stacey Groves, Geoff Reynolds and John Herd.
In the Super Sevens ending Friday 21 November, the winner was Rod Burrows with a very handy 21 points.
He was followed by the lead ball winner Paul Thibault 20, with Wayne Maddalena 19, Dave Mann and Greg West 18 and Bill Murray 16 also winning balls.
On Saturday next, 29 November, the Gloucester Golf Club will be playing their annual Back Bar Day, a Four Person Ambrose sponsored by Voltr.
The following Saturday, 6 December, will be the last Monthly Medal of 2025, an Individual Stroke event sponsored by the Arkwood family.
