1st Alan Sullivan (16) 41 points

2nd John McDonald (6) 34 points

3rd Colin Stokes (24) 29 points

With a late change of venue because of yet another holiday and price hike by some golf courses, The Bunker Boy’s decided to play a Stableford competition at the Emerald which is always good value for money even with a slight increase for the holiday.

And what a good choice of courses it was for Alan Sullivan! Alan came into the clubhouse with 41 points to win by miles from John McDonald who scored 34 points and third place went to Colin Stokes who beat William Macey on a count back with 29 points.

Alan Sullivan also won a near pin prize as did Tony Robbins and the last two went to John McDonald.

Playing Stableford again Alan Sullivan had another good round on the Wednesday but it wasn’t good enough today as he could only get second place with 37 points, Paul Smith took the honours with 40 points (gross 71 – net 68) and William Macey took third place with 35 points.

William also won two near pin prizes with Paul Smith taking the other two.

3rd Roger Privett (15) 34 points

B Flight

1st Paul Davies (26) 37 points

2nd PJ Redmond (19) 35 points

3rd Mick Benton (20) 34 points

With a bigger than expected field today and playing Stableford again due to popular demand Ron Ryan had the best score of the day to win the A Flight with 40 points, Alan Sullivan took second place with 35 points and Roger Privett came third with 34 points.

The B Flight was a bit closer with 37 points being enough to win, that was scored by Paul Davies who was playing after a long absence, second place went to PJ Redmond with 35 points, this included a splendid hole in one on the 131 yard par three 15th hole, this was all the more remarkable due to the hole position being on the upper level and out of sight behind a bush. It was the caddies who told PJ he had a hole in one with all of their shouting and screaming as they were standing ahead of the tee box to the side and had a good view of the hole.

Third place in the B Flight went to Mick Benton with 34 points w2ho beat Stan Watkins on a count back.

Only three par three greens were hit and obviously PJ won one of them, the other two going to Mike Whiting and Stan Watkins.
