Wednesday’s Men’s competition was sponsored by Slape Crash Repairs and there were 61 players.

Dave Graetz won B Grade with 38 points from John Stryscharski on 37, and Brian Smith was successful in C Grade, with 35 from Michael Gurr on 34.

July 4

Monday was the Monthly Seniors’ Day and there must have been a “seniors’ moment” as no scores were provided.

July 3

Sunday’s Mixed Stableford had 18 players, with the women winning over all comers. Daily sponsors were Doug Watsons Mensland.

Liz Weatherspoon won with 35 points from Ally Russell on 34.

Birdies were scored by Ashley Durdin and Norm Marks, giving the blokes some credibility for the day.
