A NEW season where ‘spring has sprung, the grass is riz’ and I wonder where ‘da boidies’ is?

The betterball Stableford last Wednesday was also buffeted but the clubs of Dave Sirey didn’t seem affected as he shot 44 individual points to help Denis Brown win the day on 47 points.

The ladies played their monthly medal and on a score of 86 Dolores McAuliffe took the title.

The men’s betterball Stableford, sponsored by P&G Construction, won on an unusually low score 38, recorded by John Mills and Nick Wattrus.
Coenie du Bruyn and Brett Rowe had 36 to claim second and 34 was the third placed score of Barry Kisten and Denis Brown.
Mathew Hall took the nearest the pin on the 5th but no-one managed to hit the green on the short 10th.
Denis Brown got the only 2-club and the hidden holes are probably somewhere in ‘Toti.
There was a fight to pick up the Stone with the low scores but Clyde Leisegang and son-in-law Brett McNally overcame the rest of the field.
The club will welcome some of the Umkomaas members today (4th) as their course is undergoing spring treatment.
