Inverell golfers are back out on course

While this is great news the ladies did get washed out on Wednesday and the fast growing grass has taken the run off the fairways, making it difficult to score well.

The men held their Inverell Off-Road and Outdoors Monthly Mug on Saturday.

Harry Edmonds was the March Monthly Mug winner when he recorded an impressive 72 off the stick giving him a nett 65.

Harry finished his round with 10 pars and 4 birdies. Grade winners and nett scores were, A Grade - Jason Shaw, 69, B Grade - Dave Worgan, 68, and C Grade - Paul Amos, 68.

In a low scoring day Rob Walters was runner up with 33 points and next were Jim Shadlow, Shaun O'Brien and Bob Watson each with 32 points.

Peter Lane was the winner of the Veterans Monthly Mug when he finished with a three-round total of 103 points.

The Tradies comp on Friday attracted 31 players.

Ashley Walters had a good round to finish with 26 points and take 1st prize. Nick Glover, with 25 points, took 2nd spot in a 3-way countback.

Upcoming events at Inverell are the 4BBB Easter Cup for the men and a stableford for the ladies this Saturday.
