When enough is just not enough sums up last Saturday’s 4BBB event at Wellington.
CCC Golf sponsored the day which attracted 55 starters in pristine weather and course conditions.
Norm Royal and Neil Hollow took home the day’s trophy with 46 points but only on a closely contested countback.
The runners-up team of Warren Williams and John Southwell thought they had it in the bag for just a little while.
Warren Williams felt the pressure of the wait too much and left for home before the final cards were put in and left the instructions “ring me if the results are good”.
The pair’s 46 points just wasn’t quite enough.
David Naveau and John Donnelly thought they were in there too but their 46 just wasn’t enough either.
Other ball competition winners were Gary Cusack and Peter Cornish 45, Matt Redfern and Clinton Ridley 45, Robert Ridley and Nathan Smith 45, Wayne Lang and David Burke 44, Geoff Walker and Stephen Whittaker 43, Vic Payne and Rod Irwin 43 and Ron Cowan and Rod McMahon 41.
Paul Hannelly scored the Ron Stubberfield Toyota Terrific Tee Shot on the third, Matt Gersbach eighth, Warren Williams 14th and Geoff Walker 16th.
Norm Royal’s two shots on the seventh earned him the Naveau Earthmoving Nearest the Pin in two.

John Donnelly won the McDonald’s Biggest Whack for A grade and Stephen Whittaker for B grade.
Maurie, what more could we say, Lay took out the Bradman for the second week in a row. As if that wasn’t enough, this time he found some unsuspecting company and dragged Bob Watts down with him.
It is said that in the ageing process it is the short-term memory that fades first.
That may be the only consolation for these two as 29 points is a score best forgotten as soon as possible.
Tomorrow’s event is an individual stableford handicap. The Wellington Soldiers’ Memorial Club are sponsors.
