Nineteen players took part in the Mahon-Betta Home Living sponsored two ball Medley Ambrose despite the weather on Sunday, April 23. All were away on time and most beat the worst of the weather back to the club house. A few got caught and among them were the second place getters, however the winners on 61 1/2 strokes were Mark Twomey and Alan Hapgood. Only half a stroke back from them were Graham Murray and Ray Marsh and in third was the one three some of Reg Dwyer, Gary Sinclair and Bob Collyer who finished with 63 1/6 strokes. Next week is a 4BBB Stableford sponsored by Malanda Meat Co. Sadly golf club great Kev Stinson has died. Over many years Kev held almost every position in the club and even after he couldn’t play, he would be seen out mowing. Our thoughts go out to Dot and the Stinson family, RIP Kev.
