The 7:30 Report

Happy new year to our Facebook members and friends. Let's hope that the worst of 2020 has been left behind and we can look forward to a return to some form of pre-covid normality.

Firstly thanks to Gary Liddy, John Dawson and Jeremy Clare who have stepped in to cover my absences and organise the competition and tend the bar for the Wednesday gentlemen.

Despite returning to almost wintry weather over the past week, we had an attendance of 15 hardy mountain men for the first event of the year, the Gisborne Peak Winery's January Mug o' the Month.

Results:
Winner with 40 stableford points was John Dawson (19) from runner up Ian Flannery (21) 39 points.
Gary Liddy (22) and Pierre Watson (27) 36 points and a ball for achieving handicap or better.
Graham Bysouth (25) and Peter Sinclair (11) 35 points
Kevin Taylor (23), Matt Salter (20 and Tony Carter (16) 33 points
Rob Spry (5) 31 points
Ian Gill (16) and Jeremy Clare (23) 30 points
John Andrew (12) and Henri Malakunas (26) 29 points
Which leaves the dishes for Graeme Bonsack (21) 26 points

NTP 1st/10th Peter Sinclair

Forthcoming events:
Par competitions both this Saturday and next Wednesday.
Members would have received an email from club Captain Richard Payne regarding booking pairs with him for the John Lowe 4BBB stableford event on the 16th January. This will be a shotgun start.

Congratulations to Mark Shepherd who is the recipient of the monthly random draw of a voucher for Gisborne Peak Winery.
