At the half way mark, it is Cobram Barooga’s ever present Ross Percy who leads the field by one shot over Thomas Warren from Queenscliff. 

In near perfect, though humid conditions,  the Lonsdale course presented beautifully.   Percy fired an impressive one over par 73 with Thomas a shot further back with a 74. Neville Wright from Cranbourne and Guy Krall, Yarra Yarra are not far off the pace both shooting 76s.

Neville Wright, playing of a handicap of 8, takes a 5 shot lead into the concurrent nett event and is the only player in the field in red figures with an outstanding 68.

Friday shapes up for plenty of excitement possibly with a few sore heads following a wonderful carvery dinner served up by the excellent staff at Lonsdale Golf Club.
