Veteran’s Golf: March 13

By Graham Turvey

A beautiful autumn day for golf for the 24 Vets who played a stroke and putting event at Aberdeen where the much greener fairways had been kindly trimmed allowing lots of run, was enjoyed on Tuesday, March 13.

Scoring was keen with lots of scores in the 60s. Graham Guest was tops with nett 64 from Graham Boles 66 second C/B from Ross Banks 3^rd and the keeper of the greens Doug Dowell 4^th 67 C/B.

Balls went to Bob Thorley 67, Jim Elder and Peter Daunton 68, Lindsay Hodge and Rod Auld 69, Vice-Captain Rod Upton and Terry Mitchell 71, Red Palmer 72 and Gerrit de Boer and Paul Gorman 74.

The best scratch score was recorded by Ross Banks with 73 off the stick. The putting wine kindly donated by the Aberdeen Recreation Club went to Graham Boles with 25 putts C/B. The Bradman trophy kindly donated by Gary Morley went to Julie Berick.

NTPs:     4^th Terry Mitchell     9^th/18^th Graham Boles      13^th Rod Upton       16^th Ross Banks
