Stanthorpe Sporters were out and about early Sunday morning following the savage overnight storm. Fortunately, it had little or no effect on playing conditions on the front nine which was in play on Sunday. Good scores were expected as the field teed off however for some the scenic route seemed appealing, and many headed off the fairways and into the longer grass.
Nikki Waterworth played a very steady round and finishing with a birdie at the final hole was helpful as she returned a winning score of nett 22.
Dick Hilton was another who had a steady round. Two double bogies proved costly, but he held on to secure the runner’s up spot with nett 26.
Ivan Juriss returned the Best gross score of the round. He needed only 38 strokes for the round. It was a turnaround from the previous day’s competition where he was unable to complete the round.
There was only one pin shot on offer on the front nine, and that was at the third hole. It took until the last group before someone landed and held the green. Terry Roser, the one to take the ball on offer.
The three-putt tin had a good workout after the game with quite a few coins being dropped into the pool for errant putts.
Sporters will be back on course on Sunday with the back nine in play and an open invitation to all to come and play. Tee off from 7.30 to 8am in the morning.
