Fourteen brave combatants headed out to have a crack at that ball swallowing course, Parachat. On the first tee we all reverted back to balls in water, with 2 water crossings! Not sure as to how many balls were lost but there were a few. This became the way of things for some golfers that could not keep away from the water.
Mashi Kaneta set the pace as he returned a score of 33 points, not flattering at other courses but certainly so at this one. Second, one shot behind, was Alex Field and third place went to a count-back, with Keith Buchanan winning it over Eric Black.

With a good field of 26 golfers it was a pleasant change to take the buses up the highway to tackle Greenwood Golf Course.
We played C & A nines from the yellow tees and although a little short for some, it was the tricky par 5’s to sort most out. Scores were good on the day but this is a course that sorts out a lot of golfers. The course was in great nick with the greens playing spasmodically.
In Div 1 it was Buffalo Bill that showed the way, returning with 37 points and 2 clear of his nearest opponent. Second in was Mashi Kaneta with Colm Lawlor knocking the judge out of contention via the count-back system.
Div 2 saw Fritz Webber return a very good score as he greeted the judges with 40 points. Second and third went to Alan Sanders and Colin Stielow.
