Adam Barton saw his 35 points hold on to the flight bronze in a three-way count back with Ireland’s Andrew Byrne and Bob Stokes.

Friday, March 27, Crystal Bay C & A – Stableford
1st Lawrie McBride (13) 39pts
2nd Peter Henshaw (22) 35pts
Friday morning, and a small but dedicated group set out for Pattavia Century in eager anticipation of playing a good round of golf; well some did and some didn’t. The course itself was in fine condition, although due to the recent heavy rain the fairways were a lot softer while the greens were running true.
The player who handled the conditions best was Scotland’s Lawrie McBride who, playing off 13, scored a very creditable 39 points. He was followed up the podium steps by Irishman Peter ‘the silver surfer’ Henshaw who scored 35 points off his 22 handicap.
Once again no 2’s were recorded so a double rollover on Monday.
