Bruce Howell is a newly anointed Warwick member and Warwick Sporters member took full advantage of his very generous handicap of 31 after handing in the three mandatory cards to obtain a Golf Australia handicap.
A combination of some excellent play and his generous handicap saw him post an incredible 49 points and waltz off with a mammoth win (according to some) of 49 points. I am thinking that Bruce will enjoy that handicap for a very short period of time – what adjustment is made to Bruce’s handicap will be interesting to follow.
The runner-up last week with what at any other time would have been a winning score was Tony Kahler. The competition kindly sponsored by one of the great local supporters of Sporters was Bell’s Butchery.
Doug Wilson (c/b) and the following players all received a ball in the countdown Shane Reid, Mike Hoskin, Stuart Wade and Sam Eaves, Mark Thomas (c/b) and Keith Clarke rounded out the prizes.
Mark Simmonds collect four balls for the Pro Pin on the 11th, Clive Pulley picked up three and Rob Farrell two.
At the 13th had Stuart Wade picked up three balls, Mark Thomas another two and Ian Wallace one ball.
A Skinner was nearest the pin at the fifth; Keith Clarke at the seventh, Shane Reid at the ninth and Mark Thomas did best at the16th.
Sporters has recently welcomed another new recruit, Brett Sturgess who has recently relocated to the Southern downs, Yangan in fact. I am sure if Sporters see an unfamiliar face on the course, they will introduce themselves and make Brett most welcome.
The Sporters competitionitition on Wednesday was kindly sponsored by Betta Home Living who are thanked for their continued support.
A gentle and subtle reminder to Sporters that if you have not already paid your subscription, your annual dues will now be overdue. You will be deemed ineligible to win prizes if you have not paid your subs by the next game.
Finally, our Sporters contact has left us with this thought, “Whoever said practice makes perfect obviously never played golf“ and I can attest to that.
