Monday, Nov. 12, Pattana – Stableford

We were playing the B and C nines today and the cut in the two divisions came at 6-14 and 17+. Playing off handicap 13, Mark Potton, with 18 points on the front and 20 on the back won division 1 ahead of Ron Miller in second on 32 and Marc Brunner third with 31.

Frank Grainger topped division 2 with 37 points, nine up on Paul Young in second and in third place was Dave Howden with 27.

Near pins went to (Div 1) Marc Brunner, Dave Chan and Gareth Piccininn, and (Div 2) James Kelly and Jans Oldergarn.

Gareth Piccininn had the only ‘2’ in division 1 while James Kelly and Gil Phillips both birdied C2 in division 2.

Wednesday, Nov. 14, The Emerald – Stableford

An almost identical cut as of Monday and still in form but playing one shot less was Mark Potton who won division 1 with 40 points. Bob Comartin was second on 38 and the social workers entrepreneur Dennis Scougall took third with 34 points.

Paul Young with just 14 points on the front nine took division 2 with 36 points overall while Colin Aspinall was second on 35 and John Seton third after beating Gil Phillips on a 17/16 countback, both shooting 31 in total.

Near pins were claimed by (Div 1) Bob Comartin and Gareth Piccininn (2), and (Div 2) Colin Aspinall, Gil Phillips and John Seton.

The greens here were the slowest we have played on at this course and may have been the reason there were no ‘2’s in either division.

Friday, Nov. 16, Eastern Star – Stableford

Back to normal today as we started off on the 1st hole rather than the 10th as of the past four weeks.

There were three 37’s in, with Bob Comartin in division 1 beating Per Forsberg on a 20/17 countback while Paul Butler was third on 36 and Dennis Scougall fourth with 31.

Steve Harris won division 2 with 37 points, Glyn Evans was second place two points behind and Frank Kelly took third on 28. Dave Howden beat little David Taylor on a 17/13 countback for the final podium place after they both scored 26.

Near pins went to (Div 1) Bob Comartin, Mark Potton and Dennis Scougall, and (Div 2) Steve Harris and Jans Oldergarn (2).

Once again there were no ‘2’s today.
