Jannine Wilkin was the 9 hole Scratch winner (49) while Serena Fraser was the 9 hole Handicap runner-up with 42 net.

Rain disrupted the Ladies’ Golf competition last Wednesday but fortunately the course had dried out enough for play on the weekend.
Saturday’s annual Langford Day Canadian had 13 teams participating.
The winners on 69 5/8 net were Pat Polack and Mark Fraser.
Right behind and hot on their heels were Narelle Kriz and Stephen Manns with 70 net.
Jannine and Garry Wilkin placed third on 71 7/8 net followed by Serena and Stewart Fraser (73 net), Sue and Max Phillips (77 1/4 net) and Brenda Fugar and Wayne ‘Tweet’ Joseph-son with 79 3/4 net.
Nearest the Pin winners for the ladies were Serena Fraser (2), Brenda Fugar, Narelle Kriz and Sally Bannister.
For the men, Scott Mayne, Garry Wilkin, Peter ‘China’ Brien and ‘Tweet’ Josephson were closest to the flag.
There were not enough starters for a club game at home on Sunday as 10 of the Cobar lady golfers had decided to take on the Nyn-gan course before the flood waters were due down the Bogan river on Monday.
A Stroke round is on offer in the Ladies competition today.
A change to the program book has the Cobar Bowling & Golf Club sponsored Stableford now being played on Saturday, a Stroke game will be played on Sunday and to round off the long weekend, a Par event will be contested on Monday.—T’d Off
