Stanthorpe Sporters did not allow a little rain to dampen their spirits on Sunday morning as the group approached their nine-hole round of golf. Fortunately, the showers abated but while it was dry overhead there was plenty of moisture underfoot on the front nine.
Terry Byrne returned the best round of the morning, nett 23 and collected the winner’s prize. Byrne also collected the pin shot at the third hole landing just on the green by a matter of millimetres.
Gary Kirby finished two back on nett 25 to collect the runner up prize on the day.
The run down once again went to Aaron Simmers who had the next best score of nett 30 for the round.
Gross scores were tightly closely grouped, only one shot separating the top three. No surprise that it was Paul Armstrong who came out on top with a round of 42 for the nine soggy holes.
There is a slightly different format for next Sunday Sporters event. A two person Ambrose is on the list for the Maureen Bates Golf Day sponsored by Rex Bates. There is a time sheet at the club and the nine hole event is open to any and all players. Players are asked to register by 8.30am and play will get underway with a shot gun start at 9am.
