Stanthorpe golfers played a Stableford event last Saturday, which was kindly sponsored by club members, Lorraine Evans and Madeline Jarman.
One of those sponsors, Lorraine Evans returned the Best score (34 points ) in the ladies event.
As a co-sponsor Lorraine excused herself from accepting the winner’s prize, instead passing it down to the next best score.
Nikki Waterworth was the lucky recipient but not before a countback was required to split Waterworth and Helen Jones after each returned scored 32 points.
Helen collect the prize for the runner up.
The result of the men’s event was not clear until the final group finished their round.
It was Eric Ree who finally got the nod after a good round of 40 points.
Ree set up his win on the back nine where he scored 23 points.
Len leigh and Aaron simmers finished with 37 points and following the countback it was Len Leigh grabbing the runner’s up spot by the narrowest margin while Aaron settled for a spot in the run down.
Pin shots were won by Aaron Simmers at three, Mark Hendry at 12 and Keith Barnett at 17.
The Ladies pins went to Lyn Ludlow at 12 and Lisa Stuart at 17.
Pro-pins were won by David Reeves at 1/10, Matt Waterworth at 5/14 and Scott Constable at 9/18.
Mick O’Brien cleaned up the Birdies at the ninth hole. In the run down, a ball to Alan Kerr, Rino Piovesan, Mei Bell and Lorraine Evans.
