A pleasant day greeted a fair sized low season crowd at Eastern Star. Again one flight was required but with four places up for grabs. There were no signs of any storms for a change but it still remained very humid. The course was in fine condition and the greens played very true.
Jim ‘AK-47’ Bell showed more than a few glimpses of his former self as he stood atop the podium with a best on the day 38 points and a second pay window visit this week. A trio of players came in log-jammed on 37 points and emerging from the heap with the biggest smile was Bill Peach with the best back nine. Tony Oaks took the flight bronze as Steve Mann filled the flight.

4th Sel Wegner (13) 30pts

Friday was our traditional visit to the Emerald and we had a fair sized low season crowd with one flight with four places. The course was in fine condition and the weather was warm and humid.
After two excellent high scoring games the lads came back down to earth as no player managed to better their handicap.
It especially tough for our regular player Tony ‘the glove’ Oakes who managed to score just 7 points on the front nine then started the back nine like the player we know he is: birdie par- par but then the wheels came off big time as he then lost six balls and finished with 19 points.
The top man again today was the inform Jimmy Bell with a man of the match even par round. Jim was a stroke clear of John Player while Mickey Beresford took the third podium step with 32 points and the two near pins. This left Sel Wegner to tidy up the flight on 30 points.
