In what started out as a good morning a field of 56 players took to the course for this morning's Stroke and Putts event. Although the sun disappeared and wind came up before games end we managed to complete the round before rain and hail later on the day. Results for the event were as follows:
1st: Derek Hoare with a nett 31 strokes on count back. Derek's round included two never before experienced consecutive birdies on holes 6 and 7.
2nd: Runner up was Errol Soden, also with a fine score of 31.
3rd: Neal Watson on 32 on count back.
Ball or Chocolate:
Steve Swanbury on 32, Leonie Snodgrass, Kay McLeod and Teri Swanbury all with 34, Mike Birks on 35, Henry Anderson, Robert McKirdy, Terry Challender and Robin Green on 36, followed by Richard Kelly, Bruce Martin, Lance Shadbolt, Des Jackson and Herb Muriwai all on 37.
Putts:
Mike Birks won the putting competition with 13 putts from Paul Pereira on count back.

Nearest the Pins:
4th: Leonie Snodgrass.
6th: Derek Hoare.
Ladies 7th: Annette Manton.
Men's 7th: Derek Hoare (in the hole).
