Off the pace, but still good enough for second were Wes Giddings and Andrew Hildebrandt with 61-1/2 and third-placed Mick Dunn and Tom Barker (63-3/4).

Thank you very much to Niall McNicol for sponsoring the event which attracted 61 players. The ball comp went down to 63-3/4.

The club also welcomes new members Greg Smith, Daniel Viglione, Reg Pipe and Michael Woloch. We hope you all enjoyed yourselves and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

The shot of the day goes to Brian Munro with the 166cm shot into 15. He will be one to watch in the upcoming Dubbo Golf Club Championships.

The Golden Putter attempt was taken by Don Cole for $511 from three metres and although he gave it a chance unfortunately he still missed, so the cash will continue to grow. There will be no Golden Putter next week due to the golf club championships being on.

50 Club: $40 John Swan, $20 Daniel Viglione, $10 Scott Wells. The weekly jackpot draw of $15 was won by Trevor Leach.

Meat raffles: Trevor Bolton, Aaron Moulds, Brian McLauchlan, Anthony Dodd, Gary Giddings (2) and Bob Coverdale.

This Sunday is the second round of the Dubbo Golf Club Championships so the RSL is putting on a bus for an ambrose event at Wellington.

The player numbers will determine whether it is a two- or three-person ambrose.

The cost will be $25 per head (regardless of if you travel on the bus or drive) which will include the bus trip, barbecue lunch and golf on the day.

All players must register your intent to play with Bruce Simpson on 0408 251 636 prior to Sunday so the draw for partners can be done on the bus trip over. These road trips are always great fun so don’t miss out.

The starters May 11 will be Max Hassan, Robert Atkins and John Hausia.
