Vets Golf
Last Tuesday the 18th we played a stableford event plus putting comp. Ray Sweeney scored the best of the day with 35 points to come in the winner. Robert Moore had 32 points to secure second place, with John Prisk winning the putting with just 27. NTPs went to Neil Paine, Robert Moore and Chris Newberry.
On Thursday, twenty one of us went to Glen Innes to contest the second last round of the pennants. We struggled a bit in Glen with our best being Don Campbell on 34 points. Herb Wilson snagged an NTP.  
Our club came home in 3rd place which makes us overall equal leader with Armidale on 30 points, with Glen and Walcha trailing behind on 22 and Uralla in last place on 16.  Just one round to go in Walcha on the 24th and it looks like it will be a battle between Armidale and Guyra to determine the winner.
Next Tuesday in Guyra is our stroke event.
