There was an excellent roll-up of 75 players who took part in the Iron Ring Golf Fun on Sunday.
There were golfers of all skills, from former champions to once-a-year players and also first timers.
For some of the players it was a fairly long day, but everyone was in a festive mood and, with the accompanying good weather, the day was enjoyed by one and all.
Many marveled at how far Matt Egan hit his drive on the 18th hole and Garry Wilkin couldn’t conceal his excitement when he won a Nearest the Pin prize to pick up two Shrixon golf balls – his favourites.
The surprise team on the day was the trio named the “The Three Bears”, comprised of the McLeod family (Dean, Nadine and Haymish) who took out first place.
Nadine also won the Ladies Longest Drive prize making it a good day out for the McLeods.
In second place were the “Bony M” team of Paul, Colin and Sam Kershaw with “The Seekers”, Jason Foster, Chris Powell and Tim Turton, finishing third.
Back in 4th place were “Snap, Crackle & Pop”, Bill and Todd Fugar and Geoff Dunne with 5th place going to “The Candy Cows”, David Tomek, Sean Bayliss and Christine Miles.
In 6th place were “The Queen Bees”, David and Tina Gordon and Dale Dunkley with the “Peter, Paul & Mary” team of Jay Egan, Jo and Tena Blignaut rounding out 7th place.
Matt Egan had the Men’s Longest Drive.
Nearest the Pin prize winners were: Ladies—Julie Livingstone (2), Karen Manns, Michelle Deppeler, Pat Polack and Sue Goonrey; Men—Jade Buckman, Bill Fugar, Scott Mayne and Garry Wilkin.—The Ring In
