With the Stanthorpe Golf course still suffering the effects of the recent wet weather there was a late change to the last Saturday’s golf programme. The scheduled Single Stableford event sponsored by Go Vita, was postponed to a future date when conditions when general course conditions are better.
Members did play a single Stableford event with Michael Lane kindly providing the trophies for the winners.
In the men’s event Lyle Bryant surged into the winner’s circle with a return to form and a winning score of 38 points. Bryant scored an even round. He was out with19 points and scored another 19-points for the return trip. An excellent birdie at 14 helped put four points on his card. For the second week Keith Jones was the runner up scoring 37 points for his round.
Lisa Stuart was once again in the winner’s circle. Her 36 points securing a win in the ladies event. Stuart’s front nine was at best steady but she surged on the back nine scoring 20 points to claim the win. Kay Webb (29 points) was the runner up.
Mark Hendry(3) and Scott Constable (12) claimed the Pin Shots. Constable’s tee shot looked good, and the ball finished very close to the hole. For a moment it had the look of a hole in one, but it was not to be. Close – but not quite.
The inform Stuart picked up both approaches for the ladies at 12 and 17.
The Pro-pins went to Stephen Kay at 1/10, Keith Jones at 5/14 and Ivan Juriss at 9/18. The birdies nest at the second was unclaimed. The run down went to scores of 33 points and better.
An upcoming event that should be noted in your golfing diary is the annual visit from the Kilcoy golfers over the May long weekend and the best ball Stableford sponsored by Biz and Jeff Ihle Saturday 30 April (the first day of the May long weekend). This will be followed on by the the three person Ambrose event sponsored by Black Toyota, Warwick on Sunday (1/5).
The time sheets for both of these very popular events should be available at the club. Players should organise their team and nominate as soon as possible to avoid the disappointment of missing out.
In the meantime, this Saturday, Simon Shannon sponsors an Individual Stableford event. There is a time sheet on the Board at the club for this event and as it is Eater Sunday a little bunny tells me there may even be Easter Eggs available.
