In recent years it has been Mum and Son victorious at this gruelling format of the game, 2 days of your hit, my hit with nowhere to hide. This year
however in a return to their long forged partnership, husband and wife Team of Peter & Jeanette Elliott re-formed to prove they still have the goods shooting 84 & 85 off the stick both days gave them a total 4 shots better than second place Pat Walker and Darrell Cassidy, and 8 shots better than day 1 second place holders Toni & Craig Filmer. Peter and Jeanette have been doing this for too many years and their well worn combination stood the test of time to capture the bikkies
In the Nett Division, all kudos goes to a crippled Ron Page and first timer Jacque Solah who also played below their handicaps for the weekend to record the “after handicap” section. Ron and Jacque shot 65 / 72 nett for their 2 rounds to bring home a result 5 better than their combined handicap for the weekend. Well done Jacque for carrying him
Day 1 winners were Jacque and Ron with that magic 65 nett, whilst day 2 winners were Herb & Marj Manwaring with a 68 nett
