Vets Golf
Last Tuesday the 12th we played the Reg Taylor stroke event. Paul Redden was the winner with a great 71 nett, from Wal Chapman just one shot behind. Ian Taylor and Robert Moore both had 83 off the stick, with Ian getting up on a count back. The best putters on the day had just twenty eight and that was shared by Robert Moore, Wal Chapman, Ian Taylor and Custard Mulligan. NTPs went to Robert Moore on the 18th and Paul got the other two. Next week is our 4BBB.

Midweek Golf
Some good scores this week from the midweek golfers.
Individual scores went to Ray Sweeney who top scored with 26 points. Then was Ryan Vidler with 25 points. Coming in with 24 points were Wilson McElroy, Les Heffernan, Harry Purvis and Noah Brennan. Well done everyone. Just a reminder that the cards MUST be signed by the player and marker.
Team scores went to Foreplay with 90 and Busted Balls with 90. The young guns are scoring well.
Shire Sharks had 88 points and Full House 86.
Quite a lot of teams had their six players put in a card this week. Means extra points added to your score.
I still have a few golf balls to give out next week in a lucky draw. Check where the card box is to see if your name is on a complimentary ball.
Have a good golf week everyone.
