Warralong

Friday, 14 June 2013

Nonstop rain all day and into the evening meant attendances were going to be low, which was a pity because Dennis set a great course and Warralong is a terrific map.  A hardy group of 44 gathered at Diamond Village shops, and set out into a persistent drizzle.  Dennis had placed lots of high points within easy reach, making the first decision pretty tough.  I was drawn out to 19 via 2 and went on a southern loop, but would have been better to head north and east.

It was all about quality not quantity, with Bryan winning the A course ahead of Simon and Colin, who all cleaned up the course.  Bruce won B despite returning late, his margin over Reg and David enough to stay on top.   Steven was a clear winner on C over Ewen and Hamish, while Phil, fresh from his round Australia adventure, took out PW ahead of Len.  Pat's third was her best result as she pipped Lyn by a point.

Let's hope for drier weather next week at Koonung Heights!
