Sporters on the front nine

By Casey O'Connor

A good field of Stanthorpe Sporters were out and about early on Sunday morning playing the front nine in the weekly nine hole competition.

A quick study of the returned score cards showed most players were recording scores in the 40’s for the nine holes, so handicap allocation became very important. Terry Roser just managed to come out on top but not before a cut of the cards to determine the winner after he and Gary Kirby, each returned nett 29. One missed putt can make all the difference.

Mark Lynam figured in the run down after he returned nett 29. Matt Burgess each returned the best gross score for the round, 39 and another cut of the cards was needed to find an outright winner. The cards fell in favour of Burgess who also picked up the only pin shot on offer at the third after his tee shot missed the hole by a very small margin.

Once again Sporters will hit the course between 7.30 and 8am and this week you will find them on the back nine. Of course. as always there is an open invitation to all to come and play.
