SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

The greens were a little wet at Alberni Golf Club for Sunday Men’s Golf, but the players managed to get in their 18 holes before the rain really hit.

The Flight A low gross top honours went to Blake Frechette with a 76, then Ted Stewart shooting 77. On the net side of Flight A were James Haggard 70, and Bryce Dabb 72. Flight B net winner was Peter Mugleston with 66, followed by Ron Scholte 71, Hank Krahn 73 and Phil Anker 75. Flight C net winner was Darren VanDyk 73, followed by Steve Pointon 76, Fred Fredrickson 76 and Darren Bellas 77. All ties were settled by retrogression.
