They say a change is a good as a holiday, but some Stanthorpe golfers may not agree. They arrived for Saturday’s competition to learn some slight changes to the local rules were in play. Preferred lies were limited to closely mowed only on the fairway in play and bunker play is back to normal. They were only small alterations, but conditions have been toughened up and with a solid breeze blowing, anything was possible.
Saturday’s event was an individual stableford sponsored by Dep’s Beautiful Nails.
Nathan Stibbard scored an excellent 39 points and claimed a win in the event ahead of Scott Constable (35 points). Constable’s heed the clubhouse lead with 35 for most of the day but was nailed in the end by Stibbard and conceded settling for the runner up.
Kay Webb has now played two Saturday’s for two wins and finished with the best ladies’ score.
Margie Locke was not have been happy with her round, but her result was good enough to claim runner up for the ladies after a count back with Marie Cook. Marie having to settle for a run down.
The Men’s pin shots went to David Burgess at three, Ian Harvey at 12 and Nathan Stibbard at 17.
After a good midweek round Lisa Stuart claimed the only pin shot for the ladies at 17.
Alan Kerr collected the pro-pin at 1/10, Scott Constable at 5/14 and Mark Hendry at 9/18. The birdies nest at 18 was unclaimed.
In the run down, it was a ball each to Mark Hendry, Keith Jones, Alan Kerr, Aaron Simmers and Marie Cook.
