Golfers in Stanthorpe played a mixed event Saturday, for the Pierce Trophy, a 4BBB stableford mixed event. the Peirce Trophy has been on the program for a number of years now and was again sponsored by Bob Peirce. There was also a men’s only event sponsored by David and Stephen of Favero Motors.
Adding their names to the lengthy list of winners on the trophy are the 2021 winners, Richard Reardon and Lyn Ludlow. The pair returned a winning score of 43 points narrowly edging out runner’s up Santo Cavallaro and Lisa Stuart who survived a three-way countback with 40 points.
The members only 4BBB stableford looked to be a close finish until the team of Darryl Boekholt and Mark Hendry returned 44 points to claim the win. Again, a countback determined the runner’s up, Scott Constable and Ivan Juriss with 41 points.
Pin shots went the way of Stephen Kay at three, Darryl Boekholt at 12, Matt Waterworth at 17, Nikki Waterworth at Ladies’ 12 and Lisa Stuart at Ladies’ 17.
Len Leigh had best pro-pin approach at 5/14 and Darryl Boekholt at 9/18.
We are used to the pro pins being claimed by the men, but in a pleasant change, it was Marie Cook who took the honours at 1/10 after getting closest for the second shot.
In the run down, a ball to Annelle Batterham and Len Leigh in the mixed and Eric McLellan and Chris Binge in the Men’s.
This week a medley 4BBB stableford has been programmed for the Delaney Family sponsored golf day. The day will begin with a shot gun start at noon. Registrations are required by 11.30 am. There is a time sheet on the board at the club.
NOTE Sunday Sporters fell victim to the inclement weather this past week. Members (including the one brave soul who turned up last week) will be hoping for better conditions this time round.
