After several days of beautiful Spring weather Sunday morning dawned overcast cold with a drizzle that threatened to hang around and increase.
Really just another perfect morning for the faithful Sunday morning Sporters who are not inclined to let a little bit of weather get in the way of a stroll around the golf course.
The faithful headed off hoping for an improvement in conditions.
Paul Armstrong was all over this weather thing and returned to his best form.
A few bogies were off set a few bogies offset by three birdies and he returned a 37 off the stick for a nett 19.
Those scores good enough for Armstrong to collect the best gross and win the best nett in the event.
Terry Byrnes also showed a glimmer of the form which we know he is capable of.
Byrnes returned a score of 42 for nett 26 good enough claim the runner’s up position.
With a smaller than usual field, the only other prize for the day was the pin shot at three which was won by Ivan Juriss.
Ivan wouldn’t say how close to the hole he was but apparently it took another three putts to get the ball in the hole.
This Sunday Sporters will play the back nine.
They will all be reminding the Weather and Golf Gods that it really is spring and that the early morning conditions of a Sunday should begin improving.
Things don’t look too bad on the weather front however lots can change between now and Sunday when Sporters tee off from 7.30 to 8am.
Despite the conditions there is always a warm invitation for all to come out and play.
