More than 50 golfers took to the Warwick Golf course last Saturday and found themselves all chasing the good doctor, Ross Heatherington.

Ross has only been with the club for a little more than a season and on Saturday had his best round scoring a whopping 46 points in the stableford event.

After Heatherington returned 26 for the first nine holes, the day was a good as over for the remainder of the field.

He went right on with the job managing 40 points after 13 holes.

There was a bit of a wobble on 15 when disaster struct in the form of a nine and another on the 16th.

Heatherington held his nerve and he pulled it back together to finish with 46, blitzing the field by seven shots.

Congratulations Ross on a great win.

Wayne Wells was declared the runner up but not before a countback after he and Jon Pearson both returned 39.

Harold Byrne had 38 points in a rare showing along with Ted King. Anthony Seidl who has been a model of consistency recently headed the 37’s from Bob Lester.

Justin Sneath the only player on 36 to get a rundown ball.

Ross Bell, obviously inspired by his playing partner the good doctor won the pro pin and five balls on the 13th.

Harold Byrne won four balls, Anthony Seidl three and for Derrick Hewitt and Chase Longley it was a ball each.

The pin on the fifth went to Trevor Davies.

Mick Banks won the seventh, Geoff Lee the ninth and Clifton member Jay Roberts obviously enjoyed the Warwick course and won the 16th.

This Saturday the Warwick Men will tee off in the John Dee Monthly Medal stroke event.
