Wattruss in good golfing nick
Regular readers of this column will be wondering where Colin Moodie was this week?
AFTER a couple of weeks of individual games we had a ‘friendly’ betterball Stableford last Wednesday.
Nick Wattruss, on a high of late together with ever present Brian Richards, stole the show with 47 points.

Captain Bob Hall and vice-captain Hilton McAuliffe got it together and scored 45 to pip playing partners John Mills and Denis Brown in a ding-dong battle by one.
The hidden holes are being found pretty regularly and on Wednesday it was Anton Visage’s turn to find them and Tony Power had the only two-club.
Frikkie Mynhard sponsored the ladies playing the Chicken run on Friday and visitor Lesley took the Sunday lunch chicken home with her.
The ladies joined the men on Saturday as part of Women’s Month celebrations and although they didn’t win they never picked up the Stone either.
In somewhat blustery August conditions, Barry Kisten brought his ship safely home with crewmen John Mills, Doc Mahabeer and Dudley Palmer scoring 88 or ‘two fat ladies’ in bingo parlance.
Wednesday’s winners Nick Wattruss and Brian Richards along with Denis Brown and Hans Beuthe, also on 88, were second, losing the count down.
Barry Kisten managed two two-clubs and Doc Mahabeer also had one to go with the hidden holes, so not a bad day for Doc, almost as good as pulling teeth!
Vice-captain Hilton hoisted the Stone on behalf of Anton Visage, Mike Hogan and poor old Rob Milton, who has picked up the Stone three out of the four games he’s played whilst on his recent visit.
Rob, we’ll pick you better players next time you’re down.
Regular readers of this column will be wondering where Colin Moodie was this week?
We contacted his spokesman but ‘no comment was received at the time of going to press’. We’re sure we’ll hear of him soon enough.
Flyer’s footnote: The average golfer if he’s lucky hits 6, 8 or 10 really good shots in a round- the rest are really “good misses”.
