On an overcast Wednesday with not a lot of sunshine, 56 golfers greeted the starter teeing off in a round sponsored by Warwick Betta Home and Living.
Despite the fact that the handicapper trimmed a massive 10 shots off his handicap, the Bruce Howells juggernaut shows no sign of abating. On Wednesday he returned 43 points and claimed another win – he’s certainly making hay even without the sunshine and added Charlie Morrison (38 points) to the list of players he has relegated to the runner ‘s spot on 38 points.
Bruce recently moved to the district and was recently heard complaining a fry pan had gone missing in the move. The winner’s voucher should help rectify that problem.
Peter Balfour (37) Jessie Ollerton (36) and Leigh Nisbet, Laurie King, Ray Dudley, and Ron Cruice (35 points) featured in the run down.
At the Prop Pin on the 11th Doug Rickert collected three balls: Greg Wallace two and Paul Dautzenberg one. Ross Bell pocket three balls at the Pro pin on the 13th while Mark Simmonds collected two balls and Jessie Ollerton one.
Nearest the pins went to Darrell Bain on the fifth; Wayne Watt the seventh Eddie Kemp at the ninth and Shane McDonnell the 16th.
The Warwick Sporters competition would not be as strong if it was not for the continued support of a long list of sponsors. Both Sporters members and officials are truly grateful.
Our weekly golfing tip from Sporters (with apologies to all those lefties out there) – Remember “If it goes right, it’s a slice; if it goes left it’s a hook and if it goes straight, it’s a miracle”.
