Central West vets’ golf report for Wellington Monday October 26,

Hi everyone,

We have been breaking attendance records all year and today was not exception with Wellington golf course hosting the biggest field ever of Central West vets at the club when 80 players showed up for a game of vets’ golf.

The weather was good; the golf course was in excellent conditions with a reasonable amount of run on the fairways and greens of good pace that rewarded good putts.

We also had our first shotgun start for a vets’ game and the jury is still out on its verdict. The early start for players travelling a long way and the slow play by some of the groups were the main negatives.

On to results

Best in A grade was the local identity David Naveau with an excellent score of 37 points.
Second in A grade was Dubbo visitor Gary Barraclough with 36 points,

In B grade the winner was another local identity Neale McCabe with a score of 37 points.
Second was Michael Britton also from Wellington with a score of 33 points.

In the ladies comp the winner was Cathy Loo-Shui from Wellington with 34 points.

The ball sweep went down to 30 points on a countback and the nearest to the pin winners were Darrell Bourke on the 3rd, Peter Kirwan on the 8th and Robert Clark on the 16th.
