The 7:30 Report-Wednesday 17th August

It was a benign front nine before the wild winds struck and the BoM warning hit the course. Despite the continued rain over the ranges, the course is holding up well. Thanks to those cart players who are protecting the fairways by limiting their encroachment to the roughs.

A grade: (0-18) Joggers Andrew (13) 34 points

B grade: (19+) Peter Semmens (23) 31 points c/b

B grade: Keith 7th/16th

Thanks to Gary for setting the fire, collating the score sheet and cash collection in Bubba's absence and organising the food (this will be your jobs next week Snags). Also to Shooter for ensuring the score upload was successful despite a player not registering prior to attending, printing the updated handicap sheets and that the results have been forwarded to the media.

Saturday's stableford round was an extreme contrast between the morning's consistent flurry of showers and the promised afternoon sunshine arriving.

A grade and overall winner was club captain Mick Doyle (7) 37 points. B grade went to Nick Ciesielski (14) 34 points and C grade to Dave Dunstan (27) 36 points.

Runners up: Trevor Atkins 36 points, Stuart Gunnell 33 points, Tim Dawe 33 points
