A big thank you to all those who attended the Mick Funnell Australia Day Medal which was sponsored by Dennis Hughes and the day sponsored by Paul Walker and Ross Prince. We had a total field of 95 starters (66 men and 29 ladies). We had visitors from Yamba, Port Macquarie, Beaudesert, Tamworth, Kew and Nambucca Heads. It was great to see that over half the field got around without getting wet - surprising considering the weather that was around the district on Monday.
The Men's winner was Mark Harvey on 41 points on a countback from Dave Pritchard also on 41 points. In third place was Jeffery Dudgeon on 40 points.
The Ladies winner was Wendy Price on 31 points, two shots ahead of Sarah Wilcox on 29 points.
The nearest the pins for the Men went to Alex Clarke (4th), David Cairns (7th) and Simon Fitzgerald (18th). The nearest the pins for the Ladies went to Lyn Hobson (4th) and Wendy Price (18th). The nearest the pin on the 7th was not won.
The ball run went to 35 points for the Men and 24 points for the Ladies.
