Sunday Sporters headed out on the course in sunny and warm morning which very quickly deteriorated into a cold windy overcast day for their weekly nine hole comp the back nine. Many left wondering if they had slept through the remainder of summer and slipped right into winter. Leaving many questioning why they didn’t have a coat.
The cool conditions certainly brought out the best in Dick Hilton who has been there abouts for several weeks now and on Sunday broke through for a win. With his handicap allowance slowly growing, his nett 25 was two better than runner up, Terry Byrnes. Any disappointment Byrnes had about that second place finish was offset as he claimed the pin shots on offer, at the 12th and 17th following two good tee shots.
Paul Armstrong again played his usual good round no it was no surprise he won the best gross score on the day. He required 40 strokes to complete the nine holes. Sporters will be back on the go again next Sunday with the front nine in action. Tee off is from 7.30 to 8.00am and there is an open invitation to anyone to come and try. Sporters will be hoping for better weather, and I bet there will be a few coats lurking in cars and buggies.
