Tuesday January 9

Overcast skies and a suggestion of light drizzle during the early morning saw 49 entrants in the draw to compete in an Alliance Stableford 2-scores-to-count, with a bonus point available for a “sandy”, a par from a bunker, as they were drawn in three 3-balls and ten 4-balls.

Less than a mere zephyr of a westerly wind and the rain holding off on the horizon saw Keith Buttemer, Dave Curran, Brian Shirley and Paul Fryer sharing first place with Mark Warren, James Weisters, John Abbot and Andy Barnes, both coveys returning home with 90 points.

The Hamer & Sukkel also was a close contest as Tom Tagg, Derick van Harmelen and Peter Longhurst managed to upstage close competitors to claim ownership with 76 (71+5) points.

Ricky Barresi birdied the par three 8th hole; while both Tom Tagg and Tony Halse birdied the par three 11th hole. The 2-club pool was thus carried over.

Donald McGarvie shot a fine individual 69 nett; and Dave Curran, Mark Warren and Jimmy van Rensburg shared individual honours, all shooting 68 netts.

Ricky Barresi recorded a 77 gross as he continued his steady play of late.

Friday January 12

Balmy weather with high humidity, not offset by the light south westerly wind, saw 55 players in the early morning draw to contest an Alliance Stableford 2-scores-to-count in one three ball and 13 4-balls.

A bonus point was, as per usual available for a “sandy”, a par from a bunker.

Dove-tailing well, Neil Loundar, Dave Curran, Trish Barwick and Paul Fryer were narrow victors on 91 points.

Shaded into second place were Tony Halse, Pat Halse, John Muggeridge and Donald McGarvie, also well ahead of the rest of the field, on 90 points.

Keeping an early covey in suspense, as well as bringing them relief, the last 4-ball home consisting of Heinz Czepluch, Mike Beaumont, Carol Superina and Gaby Hausmann swept all aside to claim the Hamer & Sukkel with a return of 70 points.

Birdies were the order of the day on the par threes as Trish Barwick, Bernie Loggenberg, Donald McGarvie and Greg Thomas all converted on the 8th; Lawrence Schultz, Russell Warren and Benji Burger did likewise on the 6th; and both Dave Curran and Greg Thomas succeeded on the 13th hole.

The unusual occurrence of two coveys having a birdie on both the 8th and 13th resulted in a second carryover of the substantial 2-club pool.

Greg Thomas and Benji Burger both shot individual 70 netts and Donald McGarvie was player of the day with his individual 68 nett.

Benji Burger shone with his individual 70 gross.
