On Wednesday, Sporters were back in business in Warwick with a strong field of 63 members and guests including visitors from Tenterfield and Ipswich all vying for the Bells Butchery trophy for August.
The winner with an amazing score of 44 points was Derrick Hewitt playing off his 20 handicap.
The runner up who returned 41 points off a 27 handicap (but not for long) was Trevor Davies.
In the Ball rundown: – Peter Farrell (39), Terry Bennett, and Danny Lyons (38), Peter Balfour (37), closing out with John Porter, Phil the Coach and Jon Pearson all on 35 points.
NTP’s: Steve Messiter (v) at the fifth, Keith Farrell, seventh, Don Stewart ninth, Anthony Seidl on the 16th.
Collecting at the Pro pin on the 11th were Mark Thomas (4), Gary Sutcliffe (3), Derrick Hewitt (2) and Mick Banks (1).
At the Pro pin on the 13th, it was Charlie Morrison (3), Tony Kahler ( back from touring!) (2) and Greg Wallace (1).
On Wednesday, Sporters played for the Hawker Road Function Centre trophy, and next week is the Pro Shop stroke event for September.
Finally, our golfing thought for the week; ‘It has been my experience that rewarding and heart-breaking often go hand in hand!’ Holly Sloan (who obviously has played golf).
