The course was also in splendid condition with the fairways and tees mown, and with the drying conditions there was plenty of run.
This resulted in some very good scores in the 18 Hole 4BBB Par event.
Doon MacCallum and Catherine Russell teamed well to record +9, narrowly ahead of Judy Carmody and Marie Murray on +8.
Doon and Catherine qualify for the GNSW playoff at Dungog.
The ball winners were Elizabeth Kevans and Sarah Brooks +5; Trish Dunnill and Gael Holland +4; Lyn Banks and Kathy Robinson +3, whilst Marie Murray won the NTP on the 2nd.
Doon and Elizabeth Kevans enhanced their scorecard with gobblers in the round.
Today the ladies will play an 18 Hole 2B and Individual Stableford for the 2 M’s Trophy.
Next Thursday the event is the seventh Monthly Medal and this will be followed by the three stroke rounds of the Club Championships on September 10, 12 and 17.
Last Saturday at Scone Golf Course the 3 Man Ambrose Championship for the Gary Leake, Bob Johnston and Chris King Trophy was played in warm and windy conditions.
The scratch winners with a fabulous score of 63 were Clayton Rogers, Geoff Ferguson and Les Cottam.
This equaled the best score ever for this event, which requires a player from each grade to contest the scratch section.
They also had the best nett score of 56, but were only able to win one trophy.
The nett winners were Tim Smith, Michael Davidson and Damien Collison 58 and 1/6th.
Balls went to Clayton Rogers, Geoff Ferguson and Les Cottam 56; Tim Smith, Michael Davidson and Damien Collison 58 and 1/6th; Jeff Harrington, Alan Wood and Red Palmer 60 and 2/3rds ; Brenan Reeves, David Spies and Scott Reid 60 and 5/6ths and to Phil McGuirk, Tony O’Neill and Kevin Thompson 61 nett.
The NTP on the 2nd/11th was a shoot-out!
Scott Reid would have thought 0.93 metres would have been on the money, but Wayne Hedley had other ideas when he finished at 0.86.
Phil McGuirk’s shot from the 11th topped them both at 0.73 metres!
They shared the jackpot but only received one ball each.
On the 8th/17th the NTP was won by David Spies with a good shot to 3.8 metres.
In the Ladies 18 Hole Stableford, Lyn Banks had 33 points to be the winner.
She edged out a fast finishing Kerry McLennan by a point, with Sharon Constable making a surge of 21 points on the back nine to finish a further point behind.
This Saturday, an 18 Hole Stableford will be played for the Jack Tilse Trophy.
It is the Was Whyte and Herb Tilse Memorial Day and will also be round two of the Isis Motel FBBB Championships.
