Veterans Week of Golf kicks off with registration on Sunday, October 13, which is the start of a busy time on the course for local and visiting veterans.
On Monday, October 14 it will be a fourball best ball stableford event, followed by stableford on Tuesday and Thursday, then stableford and Trophy Day on Friday.
Wedged in between is the club’s usual stableford medley on the Wednesday, with visitors invited to participate.
It will be another big week for the club; best of luck to all players.
In results over the past week, last Thursday was fourball best ball stableford won by Sarah Aitken and Kerran Leetham with 44 points, from runners-up Esther Bolton and Vicki Seely on 42.
Saturday was versus par with a good field and four grades.
A-grade winner was Brian ‘Billy’ Bourke who finished square and defeated runner-up Peter Joice on countback.
B-grade winner was Jarryd Pearce +3 from runner-up Geoff Corboy +1; C-grade Norm Purtill +3 from runner-up Jamie Loy +1, and D-grade Andrew Mott +2 from runner-up Ryan Bywater +1.

There were three grades for Wednesday’s stableford event.
A-grade winner was Jarod Sommerfeld on 38 points from runner-up Barry Barlow 37; B-grade Ken Maher 36 on countback to Ron ‘Moot’ Turner and C-grade Toby Rae 40 from runner-up Spencer Cowley 34.
