HOPE ISLAND – 15 BGC players.

Scratch – a large field assembled on a tough day – slow greens and not much run around …

Nett – a T6 was the best we could offer with 36 points.

Order of Merit – Scratch – Coming to the middle of the season with a few more competitors having now posted 8 rounds. Geoff Holding leads the way for BGC.

Nett – Myself with a slight edge over Geoff Holding, both within range of the top 2.

Super Seniors.

Special mentions.

Angela Fong currently lies in 3^rd spot in the QSOOM Ladies nett and well within striking distance of the top 2.

Stephen Deane recently tried his luck at the NZ Senior Amateur, running 17^th in a quality field of over 50’s at Hastings Golf Club.

Well done to all! Nice to see more people trying out these events.

Marto.
