Wednesday, April 4, Treasure Hill – Stableford
We had an almost identical cut today in the two divisions and played off the yellow tees. It was a tough test of golf out there today with the greens very tough and over grown and there was no run whatsoever.
With a few manual handicap cuts the same two winners from Monday came in winning today again, but with lower scores. Neil Gamble topped division 1 with 32 points, Bob Comartin was second with 29 and amazingly with 26 points Dennis Scougall took third.
Rick Assi won division 2 with 32 and four points behind in second place was Frank Grainger while Andres Van De Laan placed third with 25 points.
There were eight near pins today in two divisions but Paul Butler and Neil Gamble were the only winners in division 1 and Rick Assi the only winner in division 2.
