2nd Steve Coghlan (36) 36pts

Thirteen players were out in the comp today so we had 2 flights and 2 places in each. The course was in reasonable condition and all went well on the front nine but then we ran into a very slow 5-ball that held us up till the end.
A Flight was a tight affair with Richard Griffin just beating Fred Birch by one shot and in B Flight Aki Yamamoto, on a flying visit from the land of the rising sun, made the most of his short trip with 40 points to take victory. Steve Coghlan came in second four points behind.
Monday, June 19, Pattavia – Stableford
1st Bob Stokes (17) 42pts
2nd Murray Hatchford (27) 41pts
We had just 2 groups on Monday at Pattavia, but the weather good and the course in excellent condition.
There appears to be is no stopping that man Bob Stokes, even with a handicap cut he was still the man of the match with 42 points, closely followed by Murray Hatchford in second who shot a blob-free round of 41. No near pins today due to the small group size.
Wednesday, June 21, Royal Lakeside – Stableford
1st Bob Stokes (16) 37pts
2nd Peter Hynard (17) 35pts
The course at Royal Lakeside was, as always, in great condition with the greens fast and true, provided you and your caddy could read them.
Coming out on top yet again was Bob Stokes, this time with 37 points, followed by his playing partner Peter Hynard who just beat off the challenge of Murray Hatchbord on count back.
The near pins were claimed by Colin Davis (2), Bob Stokes & Peter Hynard while the long putt award went to Murray Hatchbord.
Friday, June 23, Crystal Bay B & C – Stableford
1st Richard Mace (28) 40pts
2nd Bob Stokes (16) 38pts
We had just 8 players today for Crystal Bay where an overnight storm had left trees down across the layout. Apart from that the course was in good condition although the greens were a bit slow, as some of the scores reflected.
Richard Mace took the challenge to Bob Stokes and won the day with a fine score of 40 points. There was a trio of players vying for second place on 38 points but Bob Stokes edged out Mark Bamber and Tip Briney courtesy of a monster putt on the 18th for birdie.
The near pins were claimed by Dave Hewson and Colin Davis.
