Twenty-five golfers fronted up at Blue Lake Golf course amid some severe squalls, and they followed eight brave lady vets around.

Some hail was endured, but everyone pressed on in the windy and cold conditions.

The scoring was low, with Millicent’s Alan Schultz winning Division 1 with 34, the best score of the day.

Andrew Stark had 33 and John Kamp 32 on a countback was third.

Second Division was decided on a three-way countback with 33 points, Max Clifford edging out Lindsay Copeman and Colin Rex.

Captain Clifford presented Murray Telfer with a plaque recognising his recent hole in one, an unusual feat in Veterans golf.

The NTP’s were won by Russ Lingham and Garry Telford, then the prized Ross Orchard trophy went to two Millicent identities Geoff “Tiger” Cameron and Robert “Tank” Thompson.

Ray Patching won the Scotch which made his day.

The ball rundown was 1 for everyone.

It seems the weather has been sour on veterans days lately, but surely the sun will come out soon.

Port MacDonnell will host the next competition on December 5, and a week later Millicent will feature the last game of the year.
