The Final of the Pairs Matchplay was postponed to a later date as Fred El-Daher had gone to Rosnay by mistake and by the time he got to Boomerang he was not in a fit state to play a competition round. At least that is what Tony Bedingfield and Rodney Dixon thought and they did not want to win on a forfeit. Good sportsmanship on the part of Rod and Tony. Well done!

15 July 2023 - Calderwood Valley Golf Course - Pairs Matchplay - ROUND 3 - Individual Stableford - 7:00am

20 players teed off on a cool morning on a day that was forecast to hit the low to mid 20s. It was definitely chilly in the first 3-4 holes until we warmed up a bit - hands were definitely spending more time in the pockets of our jackets. The weather was nice when we managed to get into the sun.

The fairways had a very good grass cover and they had been well mowed producing a reasonable amount of 'run' and the rough was in good condition.

The greens were also in excellent condition resulting in a good test for our putting.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Mark Walton.

2nd Place:        Tim  (41)

3rd Place:        Steve Buchanan (39) on a count back from Rodney Dixon
