Last Saturday Warwick Golf Club members played everyone’s favourite, a single Stableford Stroke event.
The course was playing well but the slower greens after the rain earlier in the week affected many putts.
Peter Millard returned plus four which was just enough to get the chocolates in a countback win over Matthew Penn.
Michael Banks finished on plus three just a shot off the win and featured in the rundown.
Mick has been playing good golf in recent weeks and his turn is surely not far off.
Peter Balfour returned a Plus two while Biloela visitor Josh Sharp returned plus one to also win a ball.
Wayne Wells had a good day also winning the pro pin on the 13th and five balls.
The NTP on the fifth went to Daryl Kenneally. Mal Galloway held the seventh and the recently married Matt Watt had success at the ninth.
Charlie Morrison won the 11th and Rod Hansen the 16th.
This Saturday a Canadian Foursome stroke event has been scheduled.
In this format each player to hits off each tee and the pair then select their best drive, and the alternate player hits the second shot and so on until the ball is holed.
Each player again hits off the second tee and once the best drive is selected the shot is played alternatively.
It is something a little different and should be a lot of fun.
Sunday is an important date on the Warwick Golf Club’s calendar, Patron’s Day.
The format is a medley four ball event sponsored by popular club Patron Rodney Macdonald.
With a noon shotgun start here should be a good crown in the clubhouse for the presentation.
Rodney MacDonald has been the Patron for many years and served in many positions on the committee including some years as President prior to being appointed as club Patron.
He has not played in recent months due to some health issues but is sure to be at the Club for the Presentation.
