The Nagambie course was in pristine condition due to the amazing dose of rain that fell early in the week, followed up with plenty on sunshine, resulting in lush fairways and plenty of growth.
But this did little to help scoring, with the majority handing back scorecards with nothing but wasted ink on them.
The day’s winner was Lindsay Hall, who made good use of the surrounding lies, allowing him to execute some quality chipping and confident putting to run away with The Seymour Club game day voucher with 37 points.
Runner-up was last week’s winner Dave Fullager, who maintained his good form with 34 points. Rounding out the top three was Graeme Galvin with 33 points.
The nearest-the-pin prizes went to David Love with a lovely looking ball through the air only to be robbed of a hole-in-one by a soft bounce, while Shaun Spicer played a red hot strike from the eighth to go close. Simon McClean returned for a second week and worked out the 13th and Jeff Mills fell agonisingly short on the 16th.
Next week’s golf will be a stroke event with the gold medal play-off taking place for the 12 qualifiers. It will also be the sixth and final round of the social club trophy.
On office duty is J. Ezard and in the bar J. Lodding.
