The team of Tim Collins, Nigel Hopkins, Martin Mahoney and Marty Bentrott took the main prizes at this years Boeing Golf Day, hosted on the Fire course, JGE. They amassed an impressive 95 points, five points clear of their nearest rivals of Steve Allen, Paul Gingell, Graham Millard and Dominic Breach. Third place went to the team of Tony Benecke, Liam Hanlon, Tom Miller and Conleth Kelly who scored 88 points. Finally, the team of Arne Badenhorst, Mark Vipond, Iqbal Ismail and Marnus du Plessis, on 85 points, finished the podium slots.

Nearest the pins were won by Mike Piek (2nd hole) and Mark Burtonwood (14th hole).

Many thanks to our sponsors, Boeing, whose continuous generosity make this such a special event for all those playing.

The draw for this week\\\'s Boeing Day is shared below. As indicated previously, teams were based on balancing handicaps - each player was placed in a \\\"bucket\\\" depending on their handicap and then their team was allocated selecting a player from each bucket. We have tried to match friends up, but in most instances this was not possible I\\\'m afraid.

The format is: best 2 net scores from the 4 players count. Each player has to contribute a score on at least 6 holes. Each player will be allocated 3/4 of their Society handicap.
