The last club competition of the year was played on Sunday 05-Oct.Known as the Fixed Jack it involves a target comprising three concentric circles with a jack placed in the middle. Points are scored for coming to rest in the circles, more points the closer to the centre with a bonus point for touching the jack. Viv Collins won with Dick Forde and Chris Dutson in joint second place just one point behind. 

The club competition finals were recently played over three days (6-8 Sep) and mostly in dry conditions, despite the forecast promising much worse.

Val Osmond was a three-times winner, gaining top-spot in the 4-wood Ladies Championship, the Ladies 2-wood Singles and, with her partner Val Ford, in the 2-wood Handicap Pairs.

Hugh Hillier was also victorious three times, in the 4-wood Handicap Singles, 4-wood Men’s Championship and the Men’s 2-wood Singles. 

Double-winner Russ Isaac, took both the Novices and Unwon competitions. And winners trophies are heading to Dick Forde and Viv Collins for the 4-wood Handicap Pairs, and to Barry Painter and Viv Collins for the 4-wood Championship Pairs.

The Mixed Pairs final was concluded 09-Sep with a win for Dianne Wilson and Keith Stokes.
