Conditions were hot and humid on the Warwick Golf course on Saturday as a big field teed off in the Stoke event sponsored by King Street Mechanical. The course was playing well and the scores at the end of the round were hot too.
Dave Duroux blitzed the field of 72 starters with a sizzling 63 net. Playing off his 20 handicap Dave scored a three shot victory over Geoff Hinze. Duroux also won the pro pin on 13 and the NTP on the 11th hole which shows just how well he was playing his irons.
Geoff Hinze recorded his best score in a sometime returning 72 off the stick for a 66 net and collected the runner’s up voucher but not before a countback from Peter Farrell and Neil Moore. Sam McLennan, another single figure golfer also had a great round returning one over off the stick for a net 67 as did Brian Beard and Michael Hoskin who looks to be returning to his better form. Peter Hynes and Mitch McLennan both scored 68 net while Jay Roberts, Eddie Kemp and Michael Watt all recorded a net 69. Charlie Morrison (net 70) and Justin Sneath (net 71) rounded out the run down.
Dave Duroux won six balls from the pro pin. Other to collect were Peter Hynes (5), Geoff Hinze (4), Ross Kannar (3) balls and John Magarry (1).
Sam McLennan was on song at the fifth collecting the NTP while Geoff Hinze rounded out a good day picking up the Pin shot at the seventh. Chris Hynes was successful at the ninth, Dave Duroux at the 11th and Peter Millard the 16th.
This Saturday members will be playing a single stableford event sponsored by BNW Accountants.
A reminder that the Warwick Golf Club Opening Day is not far away. The event sponsored By Sam Eaves is scheduled for Sunday 30 January. The 4BBB medley event is a shotgun start commencing at 12.30pm.
