IT WAS a high scoring day at the Gloucester Golf Course on Saturday 17 January when all trophy winners came home at or ahead of their handicap with the three graded winners well inside.
The event, an Individual Stableford, attracted a good-sized field for sponsors Roundabout Inn and was played on a fine, cool day.
The winner in A grade was Ben Veitch with 39 points. In B grade it was Mark Stone, 40, and C grade Peter Sate with the top score of the day, 41. Gai Falla was the best performing woman in the field with her 35 points. Balls were won by Peter Sate 41, Mark Stone 40, Ben Veitch and Dave Mann 39, Steve MacDonald 38, Brendon Murray and Paul Blanch 37, and Wayne Maddalena 36.
There was only one player across the field good enough to reach the green off the tee at the 4th and 13th hole and that was Paul Blanch who finished a mere 340 cm adrift. Paul repeated the trick at the 6th and 15th holes to be Nearest-to-the-Pin just a little further away at 390 cm. Wayne Maddalena, 211 cm, was closest in B grade and Peter Markey 241 cm in C grade.
The long drives at the 8th and 17th holes were won by Paul Blanch, Trevor Sharp, Peter Markey, and Anne Wand.
The Super Sevens for the week concluding Friday 16 January was won by Gary Peters with a creditable 20 points. Balls were won by Rob Burrowes 18, Chris Steele and Peter Sate 14, with the last to Paul Blanch, 12, on a count back.
Next Saturday 24 January the Gloucester Golf Club will be playing a Four Ball Better Ball Stableford sponsored by Graeme Marsh and D&B Plumbing. The following Saturday there will be an Individual Stableford sponsored by Gloucester Auto Brokers & Detailing.
