Golfers in Stanthorpe enjoyed perfect conditions for last Saturday’s Single Stableford which was sponsored by club member Lorraine Evans. The fairways and greens now showing a nice tinge of green and looking their best for many months after the recent rain.
Ian Harvey made the most of the conditions playing a consistent round which saw him post a winning score of 41 points. Harvey’s scored 21 points on the front nine and looked likely to score even better on the back nine however a one pointer at the final hole resulted in a back nine of 20. Along the way Harvey also picked up the pin shot at three and the pro-pin at 5/14 to round off a good afternoon on the course.
Andrew Burgess played an early timeslot and after returning a score of 40 points watched as his lead slipped away relegating him to the runner’s up position.
In the Ladies event honours went to Margie Locke with a round of 37. An excellent back nine of 21 points sealed the win for Locke. Kay Webb was the Ladies runner up with a score of 34 points.
Sandra Morris recorded her first competition birdie after holing out for two at the 12th. She also collected the balls for the best approach. Also in the Ladies competition Lyn Ludlow had the best approach at 17.
The remaining Pin shots in the men’s event went to Alan Kerr (12); Mark Hendry (17) and Darryl Boekholt took the balls for the 9/18 pro-pin.
In the run down, a ball to Scott Constable, Angelo Maugeri, Rino Piovesan and Sandra Morris.
