DARRYL Domaille took out Tuesday’s par competition, his +1 score enough to get the job done ahead of Sam Davis with -1.

NTPs: 2nd Paul Raudino, 11th Dale Smith.

Thursday’s competition was a two-person Ambrose.

Glenn Palmer and Andrew “Shrek” Petersen claimed honours for the day with net 60, ahead of club professional Matt Docking partnered with Andrew McLean with net 61.5.

Third place was Craig Fletcher and Dale Rogers with net 62.

NTPs: 2nd Glenn Palmer, 5th Andrew Petersen, 11th Craig Fletcher, 15th Rick Austerberry.

Pam Blohm (29) 37 points was the Division 2 runner-up.

In Division 1, Carolyn Zambelli (28) 34 points won on a countback from Anne Webb (27).

Lois Tippett and Chris Warburton also scored 34 points to lead the ball pool.

Lynne Bishop claimed the jackpot on the 11th hole and the NTP on the 2nd.

Naomi Domaille and Chris Warburton were successful on the other par threes.

The birdies nest on the par-five 12th hole contained 26 balls, and Anne Webb and Jude Simmonds emptied the nest and shared the bounty.

On Saturday, Nadine Cox reduced her 34 handicap by two shots after she scored 42 points to win from Sally Fearn, whose point score matched her 38 handicap.

Lisa Brady 37 points, Norma Everett 35 points, Jude Simmonds and Mia Hurst 34 points were next best.
