A field of 190 golfers competed in the midweek Stableford with visitors from many clubs far and wide.

Winner in A Grade, after a countback when three golfers all finished with 39 points, was Matt Salqvist from Biloela followed by Terry Winser and Dan Morgan (Kew). B Grade saw a welcome return to form by Ian Goodman with 40 points. Second was Pip Dixon and third place went to Gordon Wilson. C Grade saw the score of the day when Zane Lowe had a big day out with 44 points. Brian Smith and Tony Moran would feel a bit hard done by when they had what would normally be a winning score of 42 points but had to settle for the lesser placings.

NTP’s were sponsored by SeaFire Steak & Seafood, Peter Campbell Physiotherapist and Yamba Barber Shop. Nearest on the 3^rd and 9^th was Barry Fisher with 239 and 302 respectively. 10^th Sid Mills 223cm, 12^th Larry McKenzie 42cm and 17^th, Alex Mintern 166cm. Ball winners needed 34 with 17 on the back nine.
