Twin Creeks Golf & Country Club,Tuesday,10th April.
20 members and 18 visitors played in very blustery conditions at the testing Graham Marsh designed Twin Creeks layout. The strong wind made some holes extremely difficult and this was reflected in the scoring on the day. The day’s best was 34 points from the right handed Brett Moase followed by Mike Simon with 32.Scores ranged down to 17 with most scores in the mid twenties. Mike Simon combined well with his guest Anthony Malakou to win the 2BBB with 44 points from Bruce Richardson and Greg Voss with 40.
