A good size group of 22 golfers headed out to Crystal Bay to tackle the B & C courses. Being ‘Mug Day’ we played off the yellow tees.
Two divisions were required and the A Grade was taken out by Keith Buchanan, whose form has been pretty solid of late, with a net 70. Two shots back saw Paul Hack sneak into second position just ahead of Paul Smith on a count back. Paul Smith also deserves a mention, winning 3 near pins and running third.
B Division was taken out by Ron Gillett with a net 69. Ron stays at Diana Estates and is seen quite often putting in hours of practice on the driving range up there, so well done Ronny. Second spot was filled by Geri Crilly with a net 71 while Jockey came in third with a net 74, which included a chip-in birdie 4 on par-5 B3.
So given the above, the Monthly Mug was awarded to Ron Gillett, who won by a short half head (one shot) from Keith Buchanan.
