Huyskens back in limelight

HARRY Huyskens has a pair of aces after he provided the highlight of the day at the Garfield Golf Club on Saturday when he aced the very tricky eighth hole.
Huyskens had a hole-in-one on the ninth hole back in 2006 to complete the rare feat of acing two holes that sit back-to-back on the card.
Back to the mere mortals and it was Chris Davies (8) who took out both the A Grade scratch and handicap event with a gross 73 and a nett 65. Martin Atkins shot an 85 to win the B Grade scratch on a count-back with Steve Fordham (20) taking out the handicap event with a nett 65. Don Smith was the C Grade scratch winner with an 86 and Ron Silver (36) (Pak) won the handicap event with a nett 62.
The February monthly medal was won by Steve Dolan (36) who carded a gross score of 101 to come in with a nett 65 to win in a four-way count-back.
Down the line balls went to D.Smith on 65, C.Cousland, P.Smith, N.Watson and l.Milner on 66 and G.Needham, B.Purdon and E.Harvie on 67.
Nearest the pins went to P.King (8th), H.Huyskens (Hole in one 8th), G.Pretty (9th), D.Bassed (11th), R.Johnson (14th) and P.Johnson on the 16th.
In the Summer Cup match-play event, Damien Needham defeated Mick Neylen on the 20th hole while in the ladies Deidrie Pilkington (22) scored victory with a nett 74.
