Despite the recent heavy rain (and there has been plenty) the Warwick Golf Club greenkeeper Shane McDonnell was able to present a soggy but playable course for the big field of 73 players (including a couple of groups from Goondiwindi) for the recent Sporters event sponsored by the club’s resident professional Sam Eaves. The Sporters group and players thank Sam for his continued support.
Laurence King was the winner of the day with a nett 67 after a countback from David Hynes. Balls in the run down went to Sam McLennan (68c/b) Jessie Ollerton (68) Doug Rickert (c/b), Wayne Walters and Mark Simmonds (71) Gunter Nichlick (c/b) and Nicky Kruger 72.
Peter Walsh picked up three balls at the pro pin on the11th. Keith Clarke two balls and Doug Rickert and Mark Simmonds a ball each.
At the pro pin on the 13th Michael Hoskin collected three balls, Sam McLennan two and Danny Lyons and the former Loin King one ball each.
If anyone has a new nickname for the recently retired Loin King (aka Ross Bell) let the committee know. (Some of the proposed alternatives have already been rejected).
Danny Lyons was NTP at the fifth, Greg Wallace the seventh, A Skinner the ninth and David Hynes at the 16th.
A reminder that an alternate date of 28 September has been set for the recently washed-out Sporters Rose Bowl so please update your Sporters and golf diary.
Easter is with us again, and Sporters have reminded everyone to stay safe, drive safe and remember “Golf is the adult version of an Easter Egg Hunt”.
