BRIGHT COUNTRY GOLF CLUB Did you know, the first ever 18-hole course was constructed at St Andrews in Scotland in 1764? At the time, golfers were using hand-crafted wooden clubs usually made from beech with shafts of ash or hazel, and balls were made from compressed feathers wrapped in stitched horse hide. Enough of the history lesson for the week, let’s see how the young and old golfers went last week at Bright. Monday 20 July, Veteran’s Stableford competition. Winner: Denis Hayes 29 H/C 34 pts. Ball winners: Greg Dawson 30 pts C/B from Reddog Ruddock 30 pts. NTPs - 3rd: Reddog Ruddock, 16th: Greg Dawson.

Friday 24 July, 9-hole Stableford competition. Winner: Janine Andrews 16 pts. Ball winner: Roschelle Harrison 13 pts. NTPs - 6th: Gina Losch. Saturday 25 July, open to all golfers, Stableford competition. A field of 34 golfers teed off in very wintery conditions. One outstanding result was Cameron Wickes – playing of a handicap of one, Cameron finished with what could be the course record for Bright playing off the white markers, 42 points including six birdies and a single bogey. He finished with 67 off the stick, a truly remarkable round considering the conditions. The others who featured in the money were Mark Frost 18 H/C 39 pts, Frog Thompson 18 H/C 36 pts, and Shaun Paul 15 H/C 35 pts C/B. Ball winners: Butch Thomas 35 pts, Nick Aloizos 34 pts C/B, Caroline Sleigh 34 pts C/B, Fran Bentley 34 pts. NTPs - 3rd: Cameron Wickes, 6th: Doug Badrock. The NAGA went to Phil Jessen with an ordinary 25 pts, but he seemed delighted with his Caltex Sports Star of the Year glass. The Bright Golf Guru idea of the week: should the slower golfers have a half hour head start to try and keep ahead of the field?
