Warm weather, hotter scoring
What a day to be out on the course! Thursday greeted the players with uncharacteristically calm and balmy conditions. Not a howling breeze in sight, no major factoring in of the wind when choosing clubs and, for once, the golf balls were generally heading in the direction they were intended to!
With the weather playing nicely, there were some excellent Stableford scores, including two players sharing the top spot on 42 points. And there was a very healthy jackpot waiting for one lucky player who managed to find something special out on the course.
Men's Stableford – A Pair of 42s at the Top!
Neil Templeton and John Anderson both returned excellent 42 Stableford points, sharing the top two positions. Neil takes first place on the report thanks to countback, with John hot on his heels.
Peter Sim and Ryan Lewers weren't far behind, both finishing on 41 points, while Murray Carter, Steve Moore and Pottsy all collected prizes with 39.

The Twos – Seven Players Find the Bottom!
There were seven players managing to card a two today, each collecting $8 for their efforts.
Well played, gents! With conditions this calm, perhaps the greens were feeling a little more inviting than usual.
Craig Copland Cashes In – A $64 Net Eagle!
The standout special-prize performance belonged to Craig Copland, who timed his Net Eagle perfectly on Hole 6, earning himself a very healthy $64!
That's a rather nice return for one hole of golf. Craig also picked up $12 in the Stableford prizes, making it a particularly rewarding Thursday. Well played!
The Two D's Share the Birdies Pot!
The Birdies Draw on Hole 12 had two lucky recipients, with Darren and Dan sharing the spoils.
-
Darren Hill — $32
-
Dan Clearwater — $32
A handy $32 each for the two D's! Perhaps they'll have to decide who shouts the first round.
A Great Day to Enjoy the Course
Congratulations to Neil, John and all our Stableford prize winners, along with Craig, Darren and Dan for their special-prize efforts.
With the weather behaving itself, some excellent scores on the board and a $64 jackpot heading Craig's way, it was certainly a Thursday worth remembering!
We hope to see you all out again for this Saturday's monthly medal!
