The threat of showers held off for golfers to enjoy a good day of golf on Saturday with the event being a two ball multiplier and a single event held in conjunction.
The multiplier is a pressure event with both teammates having to score well. If one has a great score and the other has a miss it is no points for the team.
The golfer with the “hot hand” over the past couple of weeks Mark Seckold (22) struck again when he joined with Brian Judge (4) to amass the big score of 95 points. Seckold blitzed the back nine amassing 24 points as did Judge scoring 20 points.
Runners up on a countback was Dave Thompson (5) and Mitch Luka (8) with the two single markers combining well for a score of 85 points. Thompson had an excellent back nine registering a stroke score of two under par 34 which added up to 23 points.
The single event was won by Paul Bailey (18) scoring 40 points with Bailey playing consistent golf with two nines of 43. Runner up was Christine Peachman (25) with 39 points. Peachman was also consistent over her round with two nines of 47.
