SIX years ago Bridgetown Golf Club member Brian Burvill suggested a father and son event.

However, rather than just having fathers and sons involved, the club decided to make the event generational so that daughters, mums and grand parents could all be involved.

Each year the field of players has increased as members and guests join in the fun of an inter-family competition.

This year’s event, played last Saturd-ay, attracted 38 players who contested a well organised event sponsored by members Brendan and Brian Burvill, Russell Morris, Anthony Fullam, Andrew Kristofferson, John Awcock and Ian Purse.

Winners of the generation gap were Wayne and Jason Pember score 59¾ followed closely by Denice and Vincent Nock on 60¾.

Third place went to Barbara and Ben Davies with 62, while bringing up the rear for the wooden spoon were Joy and Wes Giblett.

The winners of the unrelated cup, a parallel running competition, were Kirsty Wheatley and Jenny McPherson with a score of 66½ nett.

In the novelties for the two games, the following were the winners:

Nearest the pin on No. 3 Matt Wheatley; Nearest to the tree near pin No. 9 Wayne Pember, Long drive No. 6, Men, Anthony Fullam, Ladies, Denice Nock.

Nearest th epin, No 14, Darren Wilson, 16, Kirsty Wheatley; Long drive on No.15, ladies, Denice Nock, men, James Macdonald.

After the game, players enjoyed a Bar-b-que which was organised by the Burvill family.

On Sunday, 29 players turned up to play the monthly four person ambrose.

Winners were Roma and Ken Littlejohn, Di Smith, Mike Hill and Brendan Gardiner with a score of 25¼.

Runners up, on a score of 26 points were Bruce Pendlebury and James Macdonald, Todd Williamson and Leigh Clark.

NTP 14 Di Smith while Longest putt on pin18 was by Lorna Taylor.
