Ashburton Bowling Club
We are all up and running now
into 2021, anew year, with a
somewhat dubious one being left
behind us!
Our 2021 Friday Triples on
January 8, sponsored by Toyota,
started with 2full greens and not
one cancellation from the
original entries! Akeen breeze
blew but the bowling was well up
to standard. The results are as
follows:­

22 points
7th DKinvig DPrendergast P

Our Saturday Rollover Triples
suffered in numbers from men’s
and women’s competition entries
and volunteer markers. More can
be expected to take part next
week. 1st with 2wins, 18 ends, 14
points were TWatson, CCross, B
Wilson and 2nd with 1win, 8
ends, 13 points were ABlain, R
Keeling, MCampbell. (Not
recorded before, on December 19
numbers were certainly down
due to the time of year, but 1st
were TWatson and MCampbell,
2nd were BWilson and M
Knudsen.
Also on Saturday the qualifiers
for the Nan Marsh Ladies Singles
Section Play took place at
Allenton. Agood quota of
Ashburton ladies took part and
played very well. Four, namely

sponsored by Toyota, will again

Happy New Year everyone,

Ashburton Golf Club
Abig field took to the course on
Saturday thanks to the fine
weather. The course was in
immaculate condition, not a
breath of wind, so if you failed to
play well then there was only one
thing to blame. The less said
about this writer’s round the
better. Sorry Gav!
Dave Morrison lead the way
with avery impressive 41 points,
Idare say he would have had to
shoot under par gross to get that.
He pipped Dylan Stoddart and
Bruce Ferriman on countback, so
well played all of you.
The great scores that Dave and
Dylan got also catapulted them
into the final of the Property
Brokers shootout. Everyone was
watching the scoreboard
carefully in the clubrooms as all
the scores were entered. Some
players jumped up, many fell
down, but after the dust settled
we had the final 19 sorted out.
This year’s final 19 for the
Property Brokers Shootout are
Bev Chinn, Dylan S, Bevan
Wilson, Blair Snowball, Richard
Mc, Grant Smith, Craig Bain,
Terry Molloy, Barry Jury, Pete
Morrison, Dave M, Ray Lambert,
John Power, Jeff Hewitt, George
Brown, Bruce Day, Paul May,
Cheryl Yates and Tuffy Sa.
This really is avery strong
field. By my reckoning we have
half of them playing off single
handicaps, one previous winner
and acouple of beaten finalists.
It is going to be agreat game to
watch and there will be lots of
chip offs in store.
Aform guide has been written
and is available in the club for all
to read and should be on the
website soon. Hamish will be
holding an auction this Saturday
after golf and the big race kicks
off Sunday week the 24th at
10am. Pop along it is always a
great spectacle.
This Saturday we have club
opening day, this is amixed day
playing Canadian Foursomes
Pairs. Mixed pairs for the AC
Browne Cup and Men’s Pairs for
the Smith salver. The mixed days
are always alot of fun down at
the Brandon, the clubrooms
seem to have adifferent vibe
when everyone is there. Normal
start times.
Quick note to beware of
runaway electric trundlers, we
seem to have quite afew of these
at the course now and they do
have atendency to flick
themselves on now and again.
The latest sighting of this
phenomena was on the second
hole last Saturday when poor old
Dave Robertson’s little legs were
going ten to the dozen and he
tried to run down his trundler
heading up the third. At least we
don’t have any water hazards to
lose them into.
Till next week, good golfing.
