A large field of 94 contested the SE Veterans golfers’ Annual Challenge match against Glenelg.

The SE Vets won the shield with an average of 29.64 to 28.44, showing the advantage of the home course.

However Glenelg’s Peter Richards took out Division 2 with 41 points, from Peter Bateman 36 (LSE), Tony Wilson 35 (LSE) and Liz Nichol 35 (Glenelg).

However, Division 1 was dominated by LSE, with Milan Hodak 36, Doug Robbins 36, Allan Schultz 36 and Terry Chant 36.

The four-way count-back was unusual and took some time to decipher.

As usual, “Lucky” Lyndsay Copeman walked away with the Scotch, the second time in two events.

The ball rundown went to 32 points and the schnitzel lunch was enjoyed by all.

The next outing is at Kingston on June 5, where the wind never bothers golfers, then off to Bordertown on June 19.
