THE warm, dry weather continues and the golfers are enjoying it. A good field of 16 played the Thursday afternoon 12-hole competition. Hugh O'Neil is punching above his weight and had a good afternoon to run out the winner. He enjoys the bit of run in the course caused by the dry, but not the dry paddocks at home. Balls went to Doug Collins, Paul Behan, Harold Lyme, Joe Casey, Graham Hotham and Bob Slattery.
