It was another wet start to last Wednesday, eliminating many of our regular early morning starters from the field. However things improved enough for 48 players to get a game in later on.
This meant one grade only and the winner was Beau Wheeler (7) visiting from Pakenham. Wheeler won with 39 points from runner-up Michael Johnson 37 and Colin Hunt 36. Balls went down to as low as 32 points on a count back. Nearest the pins went to Tom Pinkerton (second), Rob Woodward (fifth pro-pin) and Reg Dixon on the 14th.
This Saturday is the Summer Cup which is a Par Pairs Aggregate. A reminder that entry forms are now out for the Clark First National/Drouin Community Bank Pro-Am to be held on Tuesday 28 February.
