As 31 July rolled round on Saturday, it marked the end of the month medley fourball stableford competition for Stanthorpe golfers.
The event, sponsored by 4Water Supplies,
Included a number of visitors from Beaudesert and Bribie Island.
Conditions were a vast improvement on previous weeks and the absolute highlight of the day was Terry Roser’s tee shot at the 12th hole.
Hitting a six iron from the tee, Roser’s ball landed on the green and on the next bounce disappeared into the hole for a hole in one.
He didn’t see his ball disappearing down the hole and went searching all over the green for it before his fellow players informed him the missing ball was actually “in the hole”.
Naturally he held the pin shot for the men at the 12th.
After the hi-jinks at the 12th, three teams returned the best score of 44 points for the day requiring a complex countback to find the winner.
In the end, to came down to the last six holes before Chris Binge and Nathan Stibbard took the event ahead of Kev Rowling and Darryl Boekholt.
The third team on 44 points were visitors R Brown and S Brook who settled for the run down.
With the pin shot at 12 out of play courtesy of Roser the remaining pin shots went to Jacob Steele (3) and Nathan Stibbard (17).
The Ladies pins were held by Madeline Jarmine (3), Nikki Waterworth (12) and Kay Webb (17).
The Pro-pins claimed by Mark Hendry, 1/10 and 5/14 and Scott Constable at 9/18.
Finally, a winner for the birdies nest, this week claimed by Ivan Juriss, a three at the par four seventh hole.
On Saturday members will play for the August monthly medal and putting competition.
It is another chance to qualify for the Medal of Medallists at the end of the year.
The round is sponsored by Stanthorpe Newsagency.
There is a time sheet on the board at the club and tee off is from 11.00 am.
