The day was sponsored by the president and Wintersun, and trophies as always were excellent.
A little extra degree of difficulty was thrown in by each player having to have a minimum of four drives, leaving not much room for error.
The winners were Bruce Brown, Greg Hall, Gary Eden and Clint Prygoda with a very good score of 68-9.88-58.12. They had the best scratch score as well so they teamed well together.
The runners-up were Ash Sanders, Frank Leyden, John Sullivan and Bill Bray with a score of 69-9.63-59.37. No doubt each group had their stories of misfortune but these four were left pondering how four players could all miss putts of a little over a metre on more than one occasion.
In third place were Bill Johnson, Bernie McGrath and Jeff Burls with 71-9.16-61.84.
Nearest-the-pins were won by Justin Christou on the sixth, Clint Prygoda and Ina Hogeboom on the ninth, Tony Borrelli on the jackpot 12th and Russell Dunn on the 14th.
Thanks goes to president Simon and Tash for putting on a great day, and we all have the opportunity to thank him on Wednesday by re-electing Simon for another term at the AGM.
Thursday's twilight competition was a very closely fought affair, with Michael Doherty winning with a very good round of 47-12.5-34.5. A countback was required to determine the runner-up, with Gary Eden taking the honours with 53-18-35 from Craig Doherty who was relegated to the ball competition with his round of 44-9-35.
Frank Leyden took the jackpot for nearest-the-pin on the ninth, and least putts was won by Simon Doherty with 15. The two-point cut was 40.
This Saturday's event is stroke for the Privilege Cup and is also a round of the eclectic.
As mentioned, Wednesday is the annual general meeting to be held at 8 pm at the clubhouse with COVID-19 measures in place.
