However, this did not stop Jeremy McMahon from firing a super +8, by far the best score of the day in the Bruce Laing Cup versus par competition.
He won A-grade by a comfortable margin from runner-up Gary Rodda +1.
In B-grade the winner was Denise Hunter +2 from runner-up Sue Butcher on square.
Last Thursday, the ladies played stableford for the coveted Rita Barnes Goblet.
Best score of the day to take home the goblet was Shandra Simpson with 35 points, on count back to Rae Lawrence.
On Wednesday, the winter weather was more conducive to golf and good scores were recorded.
A-grade winner was Gary Stephens with 41 points from runner-up Troy Grant on 40, and B-grade winner was Michael Everett on 40 points from runner-up Brian Dixon 39.
As the start of another month rapidly approaches, there will be stroke events for the monthly medals.
Next Thursday is medley stroke and the ladies will contest their medal, while on Saturday it is again stroke and the men’s monthly medal.
Tomorrow is a fourball best ball stableford, next Tuesday is nine holes stableford on the back nine, and Wednesday is the usual stableford competition.
On the regional calendar, the Western Riverina District Golf Association championships will also be played next weekend, August 3 and 4, at Finley Golf Club.
Saturday will be a four ball stableford event and Sunday is stroke for the championship trophies.
On the social scene, hopefully everyone enjoyed the Dirty Dicks Theatre Restaurant at the club last night.
Coming up we have live music on Saturday, August 17 provided by Lachlan Downes and Andy Pearn, who are promising a night of great tunes, good company and a fantastic atmosphere.
The club is keen to provide these additional nights of entertainment, but naturally, their future will be determined by the support that is received.
Talking of supporting the Golf Club, please keep in mind Friday Night Fun each week, featuring raffles with quality meals available. Raffle tickets are on sale from 6pm with draws at 7pm, and happy hour is from 5pm to 6pm.
