Dean’s day at Emerald

By Dennis Fuller
STABLEFORD was the order of the day at Emerald Golf Club on the weekend as Dean Shannon (18) and John Fisher (28) both came in with 40 points. Shannon ultimately won the day’s play on a countback.
Shannon also finished atop the B Grade heap, with Fisher taking control in C Grade.
Ken Hill (12) slid into first place in A Grade with 37 points. Con Ferrari (22) came in with 38 points, as did Peter Clowes (16), while President Jeff Marsh had 36.
Ryan Aitken was nearest the pin on the fourth, Dennis Fuller the seventh, Clowes the 12th, Steve Town the 13th and Graeme White topped off his day by picking up the pro pin dough on the 18th.
Father-son duo David and Ryan Aitken won 3 to 2 in the Winter Cup competition over event favourites Ross Martin and Steve Town.
Wednesday’s Obviously Fictional Golf (OFG) using OFG handicaps finished in a tie between Kevin Miller (33) and Ken Sumsion (25). They both rolled in with 38 points from Moss Fuller (21) on 37. After heated debate, the two winners decided to split the proceeds.
Next Saturday the VGL monthly medal is up for grabs. Ian Scott looks a real chance to win as his form has been on the upswing for a few weeks.
