We took off from the Swan with thirteen eager golfers all ready to have a crack at Eastern Star. We played from the yellow tees and with few people on the course to bother us things were good for us.
Alex Field bought his A-game along and his 41 points greeted the judges – a very good score indeed! Five shots back was Martin Kempton in second while third place went to the countback, with Denis Steele taking it from Steve Younger.

4th Steve Younger (14) 36pts
Near Pins: Bill McGarvie, Tony Cook, Rob Pearce, Steve Younger.

Thursday and we were headed to King’s Naga where the course was a little wet in places so we went for “lift clean and place” on fairways to the green. Carts were allowed on course.
Although there was little run, the greens were true and the bunkers were very hard due to the fact that there had been some rain in the recent days. This made life easier for one golfer who prefers to use his putter in the bunkers and one would say with a lot of success.
Four groups teed off on time and with only a group or two well front of us, we were not held up at all.
Bill “Shooter” McGarvie stole the show and his return of forty-two points left it hard for others to get a look in – a few tried but they just fell a little short. Second home was Tony Cook followed closely by Lorraine Percy, both had excellent scores. Filling the last spot on the podium was Steve Younger.
