Vets Golf
Last week, the 15th October saw a much better day for golf. A 4 Ball Best Ball was played by 14 Vets with the winning team of Jim Betts and Kim Shaw combining well to score 47 points.
The best Individual Stableford winner with 41 points was Nancy Prisk. The nearest the pins went to Pat Grills on the 10th and Wal Chapman the 18th.
It is good to see the greens improving with the extra water obtained from the 10th dam.
Two players are travelling to Armidale next week for their Open Day. Up and coming events are of course the Melbourne Cup Ambrose on the 5th of November and Uralla are holding their Vets Open on November 22nd.
