Last Sunday Stanthorpe sporters were out and about on the front nine. With the fairways slowly drying out there is a little more run on the course and some good scoring was expected.
Mark Lynam book ended his round with a double bogey on the first and last hole, but managed was very steady throughout the rest of his round. After his handicap reduction, Lynam posted a nett 26 and waited for the rest to catch him. Ivan Juriss came closest with nett 28 and Lynam claimed the win.
Paul Armstrong needed only 39 strokes for the nine holes and again had the lowest gross round of the day. There are a couple of potential challengers to Armstrong’s hold on the Gross comepitition with Ivan Juriss and Matt Waterworth playing well. Perhaps in coming weeks we may witness a stronger challenge.
There was only one pint shot on offer last Sunday and Matt Waterworth claimed that at the third.
Sporters President Ray Thorn had an up and down day. He played seven of the nine holes played quite well but unfortunately the remaining two holes got the better of him recording as he recorded eight on both. A conservative two shots less on each hole would have seen him taking top prize. (What might have been).
Perhaps this Sunday, Ray when Sporters will be playing the back nine. The Sporters round will be followed by the Stanthorpe club’s mixed foursomes players.
