SATURDAYS multiplier pairs event, sponsored by the Zirkler family, tests mate-ships as Stableford points of the two players are multiplied on each hole . An example is, if one player scores say 3 points and his partner has 0 the result is zero, yet if both score 3 points the result is 9 on that hole – big difference.
A good field of 60 tested their patience.
The pair of Geoff O’Grady and Ron McDonald must have combined well to win by five points from runners up Matt Baker and John Fortescue.
Nearest the pins went to Luke Luffman in division 1 and Ron McDonald in division 2.
With so many good scores in recent weeks players in the Mid Week competition came back to earth with Mick O’Brien’s three over par net 33 being enough to win by one stroke from runner up Terry Johnson.
The big field in Jeff Gore’s run 9 hole Chook Run event resulted in Lance Hore winning by a stroke from runner up Mike Simpson. Phil Bambury won a ball with his nearest the pin on the third hole. Noel Austin, with a hole in one on the eighth would be feeling aggrieved.
