Scores improve along with conditions

With the Stanthorpe Golf course continuing to dry out Sporters were hoping to see some improved scores as they headed out on the front nine for the weekly competition last Sunday.

Angelo Maugeri took advantage of those conditions and was able to keep the ball in play and use the extra roll to his advantage.

The end result, a score of nett 24, saw him return to the winner’s circle.

Mick Irwin and Brendon Barker both finished one shot behind the winner and the runner’s up spot decided with a cut of the cards.

The Cards favoured Mick Irwin and Barker collected in the run.

He also returned the best gross score of the day; 40 for the round.

With only one pin shot in play at the shorter third hole, the breeze ensured everyone missed the green so the balls on offer went back to the cupboard.

Next Sunday, Sporters play the back nine with tee off from closer to 8.00 am which should allow a couple of late comers to slip into the field.
