A slightly disappointing number gathered for play on the Forbes golf course where 28 veterans from Forbes and Parkes competed in the weekly 12 hole competition last Thursday.
No matter the number of players, one of the more supportive of the 'twin towns' comp in Parkes' Graeme Cooke was winner with 27 points while Forbes' Niel Duncan was declared runner-up on 24 points after a four way count-back.
Beaten on a count-back and heading the count for balls in the sweep were Alf Davies (F), Barry Shine (F) and John Pearce (P).
Further balls went to, 23 points Barry Parker (F), Jeff Haley (F), Phil Bishop (P), 22 points Geoff Drane (F), Ted Morgan (F), Steve Uphill (F), Michael Lynch (P).
Nearest the pins, 9th A grade Alf Davies (F), B grade Graeme Cooke (P), 18th A grade nil, B grade Steve Edwards (F). Mick Miller shield, Forbes 140 points, Parkes 138 points.
Thursday's 12 hole comp will be in Parkes with noms from 9.30am for a 10am shot gun start.
A always happy and colourful in nature Terry Shannon won the 12 hole Tuesday comp last week with a well compiled 31 points after cards were checked by the days organiser Brian Clarke
Despite winning last week Barry Parkes on his regular handicap was next best with 29 points, the same as regular weekend partner Dennis Culley.
Mr Clarke was more then happy with 22 players in attendance including 'baker of the decade' Bruce Chandler who is verging on retirement and sure to be an additions of the Forbes veteran golfers ranks.
