Several of the regular Stanthorpe Sporters players were committed to playing the Stanthorpe Golf club’s mixed foursome event on Sunday and this had an impact on numbers out early to play the back nine.
Fortunately, several players who have MIA recently chose Sunday to find their way back to Sporters and bolstered numbers.
It was one of these players, Nigel Eldridge that recorded the best score of the round, nett 26. Eldridge had a steady round and the three pars he recorded to complete his round gave him the edge over runner up Ivan Juriss. Juriss who recorded the lowest gross of the round (41) finished two shots back with nett 28.
There were two pin shots in play. Terry Byrnes is fast becoming a specialist at these par three holes. He held the pin at the 12th and is fast becoming a specialist at these par three holes. For the third consecutive week he landed on the green and closest to the hole to collect the chocolates. Despite a couple of players getting close the pin shot at 17 went begging.
This Sunday, Sporters will again be out and about early teeing off on the front nine between 7-7.30am. As is always the case there is an invitation to everyone to join the group for an early morning walk on the golf course.
