Saturday, Stanthorpe golfers played the end of month medley stableford.

Conditions were slightly better than in recent weeks, although there was still a chill in the air and the sneaky wind t made shot selection a little tricky.

The heavy frosts in recent days ensured the greens were slick, and quite a few players found themselves hitting through the greens.

Three teams returned the best score of 41 points and the countback required some detailed analysis to find a winner.

A margin of one point, separated the eventual winning team of Scott Constable and Bruce Green and the runner’s up, Santo Cavallaro and Greg Fraser.

Both teams went home with smiles on their faces and some tasty items from Jamworks who kindly sponsored the round.

The team of Marie Cook and Kay Webb also finished on 41 points but had to settle for mention in the run down.

It was good then, that both players scored on pin shots and pro-pins with Marie collecting the ladies pin at three as well as the pro-pin at 5/14.

Kay successful winning the pin at 12. Some slight compensation for missing out on the count back.

Also in the run down was the team Ricky Chapman and Lisa Stuart.

Lisa also collected the ladies pin at 17.

David Gianini, visiting from Tenterfield GC, collected the men’s pins at three and 12 and Barry Hughes held the pin on the 17th.

Other pro-pins were claimed by Matt Waterworth at 1/10 and Greg Steele at 9/18.

Unfortunately, several teams were disqualified due to errors in score cards, with either unsigned or incorrect information recorded.

It is a timely reminder for players and markers that once the score cards have been handed in, they cannot be altered.

Both players and markers should check that everything is on order.

This Saturday members will be playing for the September monthly medal, a stroke event and putting competition.

The ladies will also be playing to qualify for the Ladies’ Captain match play.

Sponsors are Fiona Kelly and Mark Baker, and the club welcomes them back from their lengthy caravan vacation.

Tee off is from 11 am and there is a time sheet is on the board at the club.
