Stanthorpe Sporters were out and about on the back nine last Sunday morning and playing conditions on the Stanthorpe course were very pleasant; a warm morning and not much breeze.
Nick Casey was welcomed back to the Sunday competition after a lengthy absence. He may not have played Sporters for a while, but his game certainly has not suffered. He returned nett 26 to claim a win on his return finishing one better than runner up Gary Kirby (27). Kirby has been known to be a little wayward off the tee on occasions but looks to be getting that glitch under control resulting in some good scores. The run down went to Paul Armstrong after he missed out on the cut of the cards for runner up after also posting nett 27.
Ivan Juriss returned the best gross score of the day. Juriss taking just 39 hits to complete the nine holes.
There were two chances on offer for pin shots on Sunday however only one was claimed. Dick Hilton managed to hold his tee shot at the third hole by the smallest of margins, a couple of centimetres more and it would have been off the green.
This Sunday the front nine will be in play for Sporters and as always, the invitation is open to anyone who would like to go along and have a hit. Tee off from 7.30 am to 8am.
