Saturday November 2nd – Q/finals John Laing Shield & stroke

Play got under way on a clear, sunny afternoon with a temperature in the low 20sC.  However, the N/NE wind pushed up past  40Kph and caused problems for everyone.  The fairways, surrounds and greens were in top condition so no reason for a bad score there.  The quarter finals of the John Laing Shield, singles matchplay, were on and each match was expected to be tough.   Unfortunately Steve Wilkins had badly damaged his wrist giving Andrew Clement a walk-over.  The day’s results were;

1st; John Freestone – 104/30/74

2nd; Luke Lyons – 83/6/77

3rd; Mitch Thomas –  107/29/78
