The event played was an individual stableford and with the course starting to green and demonstrate its brilliance, the run is starting to disappear and the greens are becoming very responsive.
Everyone has been waiting for that moment that past Club Champion, Peter Elliott's game clicked again, and on Saturday it did just that.
Elliott has brought a tidy little five over par home for a whopping 45 stableford points.
This was enough to whomp the field by six whole points with runner-up Brian Wales back on 39 points.
When congratulated after the round, Peter in his usual laid back style has been heard to say "I got lucky".

I think a few of us would like to get this lucky, regularly.
Balls went back to 38 points and were awarded to Brian Wales (39), Ron Page (38), Matt Peisley (38) and Darrell Cassidy.
Our Bendigo Bank Hole in One continues to get threatened each week, and last Saturday was no different with the April superstar Bernie Parker dropping his pill in to 1.6m. Bernie got a ball for his effort.

PETER Steinke has been threatening for the last 4 weeks and finally broke through again making it back to back weeks with the lollies. Not happy with first and third last week, he came out and blitzed again this week.
Peter has had a round of 27 points on the par 24 point, 12 hole layout, beating his handicap by three shots. Those three shots have been thrown to the wind and are long gone with his new deductor being a mere 3.5 for duties this week.
Serial podium finisher Ron Kerr was second and third this week with two very consistent sub-par rounds of 26 points, setting himself up lovely for next week by his handicap still rising. Fourth was Garth Webb who is shooting at, or about his handicap on a regular basis and was strong again at 23 points.
