Friday, Oct. 5,
Eastern Star – Stableford

Heavy rain in this area over the past few days and surprisingly carts were allowed on the fairway but ‘pick, clean and place’ was implemented on the 2nd hole for the rest of the round.

The equal cut in the two divisions today was 10-18.3 and 18.4 plus in division 2 and the best score of the day was in division 2, with Glyn Evans winning with 36 points. Six points behind in second place was Tony Thorne and Douglas Clark came in third with 26.

Frank Kelly won division 1 with 35 points while Willy Van Heetvelde took second one point behind. Khalifa Nasser was third with 30.

Near pins went to (Div 1) Pete Sumner (2), and (Div 2) Steve Harris, Khalifa Nasser and Willy Van Heetvelde (2).

There were seven rollovers in division 1 in the ‘2’s and Pete Sumner on the signature 13th sank a 12-foot putt to scoop the lot. Glyn Evans followed with a ‘2’ on the same hole in division 2.

The clubhouse here is still under renovation but the men’s changing rooms should be completed by the 15th of this month.
