Thomson also won A grade, and had a comfortable margin in the Cup from B grade winner Nick Glowrey, on 39.
A grade runner-up was Graeme Rothwell with 37 points, and B grade runner-up was Ashley Hall with 36.
It has been a busy week on the course.
On Sunday the NSW Golf qualifying round for the two-man ambrose was played, and this was taken out by Brian ‘Billy’ Bourke and Duncan McQuie with a net 61, from Tony Kew and Warren Bull with net 65.
Last Thursday the ladies had a fourball best ball event, won by Pam Aitken and Dot Wharton with 43 points, from Ann Bull and Gail Beckton on 42.
On Wednesday the A grade stableford winner was Noel Swainger with 37 by a shot from Josh Hunt, and in B grade Graham Huntington was the only player on the day to register 40 points, giving him the prize over runner-up Greg Collins.
There have been a number of our golfers participating in various events throughout the region, as mentioned in last week’s column.
Last Friday a small group went to Barham for a fourball best ball stableford, held as part of their three-day tournament.
Congratulations to Des Ramsay and Jack Peacock who won the day, scoring 41 points in tough conditions.
Jack continued his good form in our veterans’ competition on Monday when he scored 41 points, for a massive 13 shot victory over runner-up Pauline Davis with 28.
Don’t forget that entries are now open for the Harvey Norman Spring Classic, to be held on September 14 and 15, and for the Veterans Week of Golf in early October.
Our tip for the week: If you have a remote controlled buggy, please ensure you give it the right instructions.
Otherwise it could end up in a creek, as one of our Wednesday golfers discovered.
Finally, don’t miss out on the Pizza Nights which are on Friday to coincide with the raffles.
Super tasty pizzas are available from just $10, which is great value.
