Yarrawonga Mens 9 Holers

Tuesday saw the Canadian Foursomes where friendships are forged or broken and it was the pair of Norm Moule and Allan Foord who combined on the Blue to win the day with a solid 29.5 strokes to head off the challenge from Omar Persaud and Frank ‘Braveheart’ Smeaton on 32, with Ross Watson and Tom Hackett leading a three-way countback from Stu Nixon and Joe Cilia and Bomber Mitchell and Ted Latta on 33.

On the Red, Norm Coleman paired with Artie Massey (37) to edge a valiant effort from Brendan O'Farrell and John Dixon (37.5) by half a stroke with ball prizes going to 39 on countback.

On Thursday Craig ‘Thirsty‘ Thurston finally found form to not only take the win on the Blue with an impressive 23 points, but steal the Nearest the Pin from Terry Strickland by six inches thanks to his playing day diet of South Melbourne Dim Sims and Carlton Draught, edging a valiant Peter Dowie (22) by a point with the ever consistent Artie Massey leading a three-way countback on 20 from Charlie Hope and Bill Lowrie with ball prizes going to 16.

On the Red Peter Mansfield won the day with 17 hard earned points on a day that found the Red course unusually challenging, with John Dixon leading a three-way countback from Andrew Brown and Ted Latta, with ball prizes going to 11. I am led to believe that kangaroos, ducks and rabbits provided an extra obstacle to scoring well on the Red.
