Eastern Star Golf Course
1st Willem Lasonder (36) – 34 points
2nd Dave Lea (18) – 33 points
3rd John Pegrum (20) – 30 points
On Tuesday we drove the motorway to Eastern Star. It was some time ago we played there. It was a nice warm bright day with a slight cool breeze. The course was in reasonable condition, but not easy. We had to struggle to achieve a good result. Willem Lasonder was in good form and played consistently. He won with 34 stableford points. David Lea had a strong back nine but just not enough for the win. He came second with 33 points. John Pegrum was third with 3 points. Only 1 near pin today for Max Gordon Vroom.

Pattavia Golf Course
1st John Feeney (22) – 39 points
2nd Willem Lasonder (36) – 37 points
3rd Allan Cassin (14) – 37 points
On Thursday we went to Pattavia Golf Course. With all the new constructions it was difficult to decide which turn was the shortest way. It was a nice surprise for us, that Jonathan Pratt came back to play with us.
It was again a nice warm sunny day with a good breeze. The course was in good condition with some dry spots. As always the greens were difficult. Nevertheless, we had good results. John Feeney was the man of the day with 39 stableford points. Willem Lasonder and Allan Cassin fought for second, but Willem beat Allan on the count back. Both had 37 stable ford points. The near pins were for John Pegrum, Dave Lea and Karl Flood.
