La Chiusa takes lead in
Senior Order of Merit
T
he Queensland PresCare Senior Order of Merit
competition has passed the half way stage and
at the end of July 26 of the 46 events had been
completed. In its second season the competition is
growing steadily with many fields showing a good

Mario La Chiusa to take a commanding lead in the 2014

With 1125 points from his best eight events La Chiusa
leads Keperra’s Lindsay Brown by 170 points. Steve Toyne
(Nudgee) is the big mover on the table and he has moved

Emerson from Nudgee leads on 875 points with club mate
Elizabeth Moran exactly 100 points behind her in second
