THE event at the Griffith Golf Club last Saturday was a single stableford, with 94 players and a CCR of 70.
The dry fairways meant plenty of run and Darryl Henderson took full advantage, carding the winning A grade score of 41 points.

and ninth, and coming home in two over par 37, draining birdies on both the 10th and 13th.

Irvine fired par 36 on the front nine,
nailing birdies on the first and fourth, before he canned two more on the 10th and the 17th, but a bogey on the last cost him a win.
Bill Carter was the best in B grade, carding 40 points, scoring 19 points out and 21 home, in carding six pars.
