Stroke Tourney

Trouble on the seventh hole In two of the four rounds of the Nelson provincial stroke play championships at Greenacres cost Graeme Lummis several of the 12 strokes over par he recorded. He had two excellent rounds of 72 and 75 on the first day, but dropped 11 strokes on the second day. He won the A grade section with a gross 304.

Max Whitelaw lines up his drive at the 10th. Kerry Smith, Brian Murphy and Keith Askew also assess the distance.

C grade winner, "Red" Mathie.

Among the low handicappers, Ken Jones and (centre), Darryl Templeman. At far right, Les Milnes (Motueka) lines up a putt.

Keith Henderson (Tasman) appears very determined as he takes a line to the 18th green.

Bill Taylor's trip from Takaka was worthwhile. He won the B grade title.

Jack Puklowski had quite a tussle to win the D Grade, getting home by only one stroke.

Caught by the camera a split second after playing a fairway iron is Barry Stephens (Blenheim).

Templeman rides his putt to the hole at the 15th, but without success. The putt was worth an eagle 3. He settled for a birdie.

Toting up the scores: Joff Benge (Greenacres) and Merv Charlett (Takaka).
