Stanthorpe Golfers have endured some very ordinary conditions over the past weeks however the wait for a turn in the weather was certainly worth it. Those teeing off in Saturday’s competition were greeted with a picture perfect Granite Belt winter day and conditions were ideal. Even the course is finally showing signs of drying out.
A quick look at some of the scorecards may indicate that a few players were a little to intent on enjoying the conditions rather than concentrating on the golf swing or putter.
Mark Hendry did not feature in that group. After leading the field last week his good form continued. He finished the round with the best score – 74 off the stick for a nett 67 and was a clear winner. Next best, but several shots off Hendry’s score was runner up Darryl Boekholt (nett 70).
Hendry’s exploits did not end there. He collected the pin shot at three and a well-directed second shot at 9/18 won him the Pro-Pin.
Nikki Waterworth had a good round in the Ladies’ event Her winning score a below par nett 69. Visiting player, Erica Vedalago was the runner up returning nett 72.
Keith Jones collected a ball for the pin at 12 and Todd Sutherland held the pin at 17.
Nikki Waterworth collected one pin for the ladies at 12. Other pro-pins went to Richard Reardon at 1/10 and to Allen Kerr at 5/14. There were No takers for the birdies nest at four.
Ivan Juriss, Bruce Green and Margie Locke each collected a ball in the run down.
The competition was sponsored by Peter Patti Painting and after presenting the prizes at the close of the day Patti announced he intends to be a more of a regular on the course.
This Saturday members will tee off in an Individual Stableford which will be sponsored by Reece Plumbing. The time sheet for this game is on the board at the club house.
