Fine day under the mountain

Sun shines on vets once more

KAITAIA VETS. The Kaitaia Golf Club vets avoided rough weather for the second week in a row on Tuesday when the rain predicted held off, allowing a decent turnout of members to enjoy ideal winter conditions.

Results were, men: Ed Masters 32, Simon Yates 31, Terry Shaw 31, Vaughan Smith 29, Dave Squire 28; ladies: Elaine Hammond 31, July Yates 29, Ann Squire 27, Noelene Robson 26. There were 2s by S Yates and V Smith, although it was noted nobody again landed on the Par 3 9th green so winners were by lot, E masters (men) and Brenda Muller (ladies), while the lucky draw winner was Jack Connolly.

The previous week, Monday, May 25, only a dozen or so local vets braved the elements where results were, men: Brian Mulcahy 28, Peter Hammond 28, ladies: Val Simpson 24. There were 2s by Terry Shaw and P Hammond, nearest pin No 9: Jim Gardner and Raewyn Shaw, and lucky draw: Bob Robson.
