It was an early start for the Langham Slashers on Sunday morning as they teed off on the back nine for their regular social competition. Joining the group for the sunny but chilly start was our own Dominique (Mini) Tassell and her chauffeur Wayne Wells.
Doug McBeth was the overall winner returning a very respectable score of 19 and claimed the $50 gift voucher. The runner up with Nett 21 was Brett Donovan. Greg Wallace claimed the “NTP” at 13. Wayne Wells ( Mini’s chauffeur) displayed excellent skills outdriving the field scoring “Longest Drive” on the 15th. Laurie King did noy play his usual solid round and at one point looked in contention for the Bradman Ball (awarded to the player with the highest gross score) however he was on song at the 11th where he was NTP. The Bradman award ultimately went the way of Chris Hall. NTP at the 16th was Peter Balfour. Doug McBeth picked up the prize for the least number of putts for the nine holes while Des Collins was the unfortunate recipient of the “Ollie Ball” for worst putting performance.
Bert Bownds again displayed his uncanny pitching skills and earns a special mention with his chip-in on the 12th resulting in a par.
At the conclusion of play, a “putting” competition was held on the practice green and appropriately was won by Doug McBeth.
