Boyne takes silver

Wednesday September 21 saw the Martinborough women playing another L.G.U and putting competition and in the silver division Jenny Boyne was in first spot with 92-19-71 followed by Sherry Weatherstone and Kris Chamberlain whos actual scores seem to have been mislaid.
In the Bronze division it was Dianna Donald with a 91-20-71 in first spot followed by Fiona Ellis by the countback and then Barb Cox and Felicity Warren.
Dianna Donald took out the Pukemanu nearest the pin and sunk the two , a nice finish for her efforts.
Other two scorers were Janne Cooke and Barb Cox. Barb Cox also won the putting with 27 putts.
The nine holers played a stableford round and in the top spot was Mary Herrick on 18 points followed by Nita Edwards on 17 points and Helen Neilson on 16.
Closest to the pins were Diana Bunny and Elaine Howe.
The Thursday Club saw a smaller turnout than usual and only coincidentally fewer good scores.
Nearest the pin was won by Lance Phelps who now operates on a zero handicap, he also converted for a two, as did Ben Masters.
The stableford competion was won by Ed Elworthy on 42 points followed closely by Geoff Bunny on 42 and David Thurlow on 40 points. There was a fall-away to 38 points scored by Ian Cresswell, Bill Jones and Bob List.
Players are perhaps saving themselves for the great Election Celebration/Anguish Tournament, depending on your point of view, which is on Thursday 29th. Players are requested to arrive at least ten minutes before tee-off thus stopping the starter from having a nervous breakdown who ever said men cant multi-task !
An apology: It is hard enough to score one two let alone two in the same game and when the act is credited to a player long since dead, the hurt is even worse. It was Thursday club stalwart Doug Clark who scored the twos, and they were richly deserved, even if the recognition is somewhat overdue!
The mens club championships have been held on a beautifully manicurred course, Lance Phelps was helped by a 66 in the morning round to take out the senior division, the runner -up was Bill Jones.
Marcus Howie beat Bob Goodley for the intermediate title and David Thurlow beat Terry Blacktop for the junior crown.
The Bellingham Cup,for those on a 25 plus handicap was won by Sam Cooke and the runner -up was Garth Edwards.
Our hole in one vet Ray Lind beat Bill Rattray for the vets Trophy.
Saturday the 24th saw the men play a bisque par round and Shane Hartnell was in +10 followed by Mok Baker +8, Peter Little +7 and Roger Simpson +6
A chicargo stableford was played on Sunday and Craig Colton was the winner with 38 points followed by Ian Henderson on 38 and Pete Smith on 37 points.
Twos were scored by George Kirk, Shane Hartnell, Trevor Hawkins and G Patterson.
Dont forget the A.B Martin 18 hole mixed foursomes open tournament on October 8th.
