One of the newest Warwick Golf Club members, Bruce Howells, is taking the place by storm. After just two games at his new club, Howells is two from two.
Howells had been a member of the Liverpool Golf Club (NSW) a number of years ago and played off a nine handicap. Having not played for about nine years, he had his first club game with Warwick Sporters a week ago and blitzed the opposition returning an impressive 49-points. He backed up that performance in Saturday’s competition scoring 41 points to take a comfortable three shot win.
His performance has not gone unnoticed however, and Brian (handicapper) has acted swiftly reducing his Wednesday handicap of 31 to 22.8. There is no doubt there will be more wins on the horizon if he maintains his current form. Bruce has certainly made a great start to his golfing life with the Warwick Club – all we can say is congratulation and keep the wins coming.
John Urwin had a rare day out on Saturday. After an excellent round he returned 39 points and claimed the runner’s up spot finishing three shots ahead of the third placegetter Matty Penn (37 points).
Others figuring in the run down were Greg Wallace (37), Phil McEvoy, Clayton Frank and Evan Pfeffer (36 points) and Kel Lucas and Mitch McLennan (35 points).
Wayne Rhea won five balls for his shot at the 13th; Cameron Watt picked up four, Don Warrener three, Josh Hynes two and Tony Kahler collected one ball.
Clayton Frank won pin at the fifth, Kel Lucas the seventh and Garry Adcock the ninth. Shane McDonnell had success at 11and John Urwin won the 16th.
A field of 64 played the event and the course was magnificently presented for the big field which included visiting players from Keperra and Oxley.
This Saturday, members will play Single Stableford event sponsored by BNW Accountants. A reminder that the Warwick Real Estate two ball Ambrose will be played on next Monday’s public holiday. This event, which has been regularly sponsored by Neil Carney and his team, is always popular on the golfing calendar so be sure to get your names on the sheet to avoid disappointment.
Finally, the draw for the Match Play Championships is complete and has been posted. Members are asked to check the draw to confirm if you are playing in this major event. The first round games are to be completed by Sunday 8 May.
