Beautiful Spring weather was experienced for the 26 Members and 1 Guest who made the journey down to Goolwa. The course was in great condition and it was surprising that only 1 person played to handicap.

Lunch at the Pelican Bistro in the Goolwa Surf Club was an excellent choice with great food and spectacular views.

1st = Vera Mortimer 36 pts

2nd = John Mortimer 35 pts (on count-back)

3rd = Dave Elliss 35 pts

As usual, the next 6 place-getters also received a ball each, down to 33 points.

The 1st/2nd Matchplay game was contested, with Rob Pearce defeating Benn Cox 3/2 and therefore taking the coveted Matchplay Trophy ! The 3rd/4th place match between James Lunnay and Mark Duerden is yet to take place.
