Waihi Golf Club enjoyed another week of great weather, and a very busy course, and despite very good conditions the scoring (especially in the Men's sections) appears very difficult, with very few Members' playing to their handicaps.

VET”S SECTION: After two holiday Monday's in a row the Waihi Vet's were pleased to get back to a normal club day. Forty eight players entered to play in the day's competition which was 2 men Ambrose. This format had not been played on club day for quite some time, and by the hilarity in the clubhouse afterwards it proved to be an enjoyable event. Main winners were Susan Mustard and Brian Baynes first, with Sally Sherson and Kerry Lewis runners-up.

NINE HOLES: The final round of The Wintle Cup was played on Tuesday, and in the haggle, Division 1, Jean Cotterill was first with nett 38, followed by Marie Rickard (39), and Lorraine Meyer (41). In Division 2, Elaine Goodwin (31) lead home Denise McConnon (32), and Maureen Vautier (33).

The Final results of The Wintle Cup two rounds were Division 1: Jean Cotterill (79) first, with Mary-Kate Paterson (87) second. In Division 2: Margaret Hickey (68) first, Denise Morgan and Maureen Vautier both next on 69 nett.

In the Men's TOB-Nett, Terry Paterson (34) was first, with John Vautier (37), and Garth Pritchard (39) next. The final of the two round competition saw the same three players finish in the same order.

WEDNESDAY LADIES: On Monday (2nd) at Hauraki, the Waihi ladies team of Jacquie Bain, Jan Robinson, Karen Lee and Wendy Matutinovich came a very creditable fourth out of 21 teams in the BOP Teams Final of the 4BBB competition.

On Wednesday it was the first round of the Dillimore Cup 4BBB. There were two matches played, while the rest of the field played a nett haggle. Sharlene Stewart won the day with a 67 nett, and also the Dreamers Player of the week.

THURSDAY MEN: This week's morning haggle in division 1, David Lockton was a clear winner with 41 points, and trailing back on 36 were Alan Kurtovich, and Norm Sanderson. In division 2 the winning gap was even greater with Tom Wallace (37), well ahead of four other players back on 32.

In the afternoon haggle John Taylor won with 39 points, ahead of Mark Bryant (sparking hot at the moment) (37). They were followed by Murray Gutry (Hamilton) and Jonathon Clare with 36 points.

SATURDAY LADIES: The same as the Wednesday ladies many played in the Dillimore Cup 4BBB, but in the haggle Jackie Robson led the way with a nett 41, with Shelley Lithgow next on 78, then Liz Hale (81).

SATURDAY MEN: The second round of the Ludwig Cup-4BBB was played, and after some very tight games the competition is now down to the semi-final to be played next week. Those through to the next round are Greg Rosevear & Jethro Meares to play John Libby & Tom Rowbotham, while the other match will be between Jim Evans & Earl White, against Charles Gurr & Rex Knight.

In the morning haggle the scoring was again only very average, but in division 1, Greg Rosevear was first with 37 points, followed by Allen Sarjant (36), and Scott Spicer, and David Croker on 35. In division 2, Tom Wallace was again the top performer with 34 points, with Vince Jones and Peter Hewitt next with 33. In the afternoon haggle, Rex Knight showed his 4BBB form by top scoring with 37 points. Next were Earl White, Terry Gerbich (again), and Garry Choat, both with 36. Alex Teesdale, and Chris Hale both had 35 points.
