IT WAS Tony Burnet’s day on Tuesday, 2 December, when the Gloucester Veteran Golfers turned out for their normal weekly outing; he finished three points ahead of the field and played seven under handicap.
The event was played in cloudy and moderately warm conditions on a course starting to suffer from the lack of any substantial rain over the past several weeks.
The event was an Individual Stableford sponsored by Ken Kelly and the winner was Tony Burnet with a big 43 points. Carolyn Davies finished with 40 points in the runners up spot. Balls were won by Ele Fraser 39, Derek Bardwell and Trevor Sharp 36, Hugh Toprode, Chris Steele and Ken Kelly 35 with Dale Rabbett, 34, picking up the last trophy ball on a count back.
The Nearest-to-the-Pin trophy at the 4th and 13th holes was won by Derek Wand; at the 6th and 15th holes that honour went to Elaine Murray and Trevor Sharp.
This immediate past Tuesday, 9 December, the Gloucester Veterans played an Individual Stableford sponsored by Debbie and Peter Sate. Tuesday of next week they play a Four Ball Aggregate Stableford.
