It was a strange leader board following Saturday’s stableford with the majority of A graders struggling on the slow greens due to the recent coring. The first A grader mentioned was the 14th best score and out of the top six, five of them were the C grade lady golfers.
Thirty four of the big field either played to or bettered their handicap with some high scores coming from those who figured in the placings.
The A grade winner was Josh Howarth (
with a score of 38 points. His round was a bit of an up and down one where he posted three birdies which were offset by a number of bogies but he still managed nines of 19 points on each nine. It was another special round by A grade runner up Andrew Burton (+3) who has been playing a lot of golf of late. His round of 68 featured six birdies finishing with 37 points on a countback.

Runner up was Zach Jones (16) on 40 points. He is a young golfer on the way up and has done some good things since taking competition golf seriously.
It had been a great week for C grade winner Krystan Griffiths (38) who was coming off a Division 2 women’s October monthly medal win. She continued her ‘purple patch’ with the amazing score of 45 points and is happy that her handicap is coming down at a rate of knots. Runner up on 43 points was Deanna Goodsell (21) who is also happy with her round as it was the first time that she had broken 90.
