With significant rain having fallen over recent days the 53 players who registered for the Tuross Head Veterans Golf Stroke & Putts event on Wednesday 15 December found the going somewhat tough. Despite this a number of below par scores were returned on the day. Winning with a fine net score of 29 was Neal Watson with runner up Annette Manton only three strokes back on 32. The final major prizes went to John Cox and Greg Thornton, both players with scores of 33.
Minor prizes went to Barry Hoban with 34, Steve Collins and Ron Hanlon on 36, and to David Williams, Ted Quinlan, Jane Eglitis, Dorothy Madden, Mike Birks, Ian Manton and Ann Ware on 37. Steve Collins won the putting competition with 11 putts for the 9 holes played. Andrew Gordon took out the infamous Bradman award whilst nearest the pins went to Ian Miller on the 4th, Ron Hanlon on the 6th, and to Annette Manton and Neal Watson on the 7th. Bruce Martin won the Accuracy drive.
Tuross Vets will now take a two week break with golf resuming on Wednesday 5 January.
