Veteran’s Golf: March 29

By Graham Turvey

A NEW record attendance at Murrurundi of 21 Vets was achieved when we played a 2-person Ambrose event yesterday.

The course was beautifully prepared as usual and it’s good to see that there will soon be a roof on the splendid deck adjacent to the club house.

Scoring was very good with all the run in the fairways. Locals Rick Cooper and John Norman won with 58.75 from Rod Upton and John Benham 63.75 second on a count-back.

In the ball comp balls went to Greg Lawrance and Gary Gray 63.75, Phil Ledgerwood and Mal Bruce 64, Rod Auld and Wayne Murphy 64.5 and Bob Minch and Captain Max Holz  plus Tony Lettice and Greg Lawrance (the swinger) 66.5.

Nearest the Pins:    3rd/12th Rod Auld    6th/15th Graham Turvey    9th/18th Wayne Murphy

Our condolences to Rod Upton on the passing of his brother.
