Vets Golf
Last Tuesday the 4th we played the Reg Taylor Stroke. It was well contested with 13 players and some close scores. Neil Paine was the day’s winner with 71 nett and Ian Taylor won the gross. Ian also won the putts with Neil getting one NTP and Robert Moore getting the other 2.
On Thursday about 20 vets, men and ladies travelled to Uralla to contest the second round of the pennants. We came into the clubhouse in third spot which was good enough to promote Guyra to equal 1st place with Armidale on 14 points. Uralla and Walcha are on 12 points with Glen on 8.
Some great individual results with Len Stanley winning C grade on 37 points. Belinda Lenehan backed up her B grade win in Armidale taking Ladies B grade again in Uralla. Belinda also got a NTP as did Kerry Bull and Michael Jackson.
The next pennants round is in Guyra on Tuesday the 18th.
