Again the weather forecasted extreme conditions for the Adelaide Region however the plains as always appeared to lull the members into a false sense of security. The Captain started early with Les Grafton and Julie Holland hoping to get through the game without any rain however we got hit with sweeping rain on the back nine. The other members behind playing the front nine had some sort of cover to put on the wet weather gear. As we finished the sun was out so the group behind were fortunate to have an easy run home.

The match play games played today were Yogi Frencken up against Ian Clark and going by the cards looked close with Yogi holding on to win 1 up. The other match had John Boon up against Bobby Hogg and again was up and down all day with chances missed by both golfers with the final result going down to the 20th hole in won by John Boon. Congratulations to both groups to the winners and losers for their games. All four were also in the grade placing on the day.

Next week is being billed the clash of the Titans with Yogi up against John and Steve Kelly up against the Captain. Both groups will be playing together and hitting off at 11 o'clock. We were expecting full coverage by Fox Sports and SBS along with our revered local time life photographer Darrell Thompson covering the round. Best of luck to Yogi, Jon, and Steve.

Bobby Hogg's 70 held off a strong challenge by Greg Giannikos 71 to win A Grade with Yogi third on 73. Jim Weir again coming in with the last group won B Grade with 67 with Paul Shields second with 70 and Ian Clark third with 71. John Boon proved strong to take out C Grade with a 73 holding off Steve Kelly and Ray Prior both on 79 with Steve winning the count back.

Next week's brings the final round of the President's Trophy and judging by todays scores there are several players who are in the box seat. Steve Kelly, Jim Weir will be hard to beat with outside chances being Ian Clark, Adam Bail and Paul Shields for possible placing's. Of course there is always a smoky in the mix so I will suggest John Boon if he puts in a solid day and scores well.
