As preparations for ANZAC Day 2022 were being finalised across the region and the country, it seemed fitting that the sponsor of the Stanthorpe Golf club’s medley 4BBB Stableford on Saturday was the Stanthorpe RSL Subbranch.
The Golf club and members would like to acknowledge the Subbranch for their generous sponsorship and thank Martin Corbett for attending and presenting the winner’s prizes.
After weeks of navigating some soggy surface areas of the course players confirm that there are promising signs the course is beginning to dry out and that is reflected in the better scores we are seeing. The early birds were out and about on the course seeking that early advantage on Saturday. 42 points was the early score on the challenging the rest of the field.
Mark Hendry and Inglewood visitor John Slack knocked that score out of the park returning the winning score of 45 points. Both players consistently added to the tally throughout the round and had only one bad hole at the 10th where only one point was carded.
Santo Cavallaro and Eric Rees were just one point off the leaders with 44 points and the pair secured the runner’s up spot. Both players scored evenly for their total.
In the run down, Nathan Stibbard was a swing player and matched up with Matt Burgess and then Andrew Burgess, for 43 points on each card.
Mei Bel and Len Leigh collected the final run down.
Scott Constable held the Men’s pin shot at three while Greg Fraser was on song at 12. No one managed to hold the 17th pin.
Mei Bell collected the ladies pins on offer at three and 17 and Lisa Stuart claimed the final pin offered at 12.
Nathan Reardon, one of the visitors playing on Saturday held the pro-pin at 1/10. Barry Hughes was in close at 5/14 and Scott Constable had the best second shot at 9/18. The birdies nest went unclaimed.
It is a busy schedule this weekend at the Stanthorpe Golf club and the time sheets for Saturday’s medley 4BBB Stableford and Sunday’s three person Ambrose are filling fast. Be sure to get your name on the sheets at the clubhouse as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
