With a number of regular Stanthorpe Sporters playing other golf events last weekend there was only a small field to tee off with play on the back nine.
The course looks in good shape and if scores are any indication it is improving following the long drought conditions and then heavy rain.
After an adventurous round the previous week, Gary Kirby discovered that being a bit more direct pays off so much so that he recorded the lowest score of the round.
Kirby returned nett 29 and collected the winners prize.
There were still a few wayward shots but two birdies in his round help ensure a winning round.
Terry Byrnes, normally a regular at the top of the Sporters leader board has been a little out of form in recent weeks but looks like he is turning that around.
His round of nett 30 last Sunday was good enough to put him in the runner’s up position.
Ivan Juriss was one shot further back for a mention the run down.
Paul Armstrong played his usual good round, and it was no surprise when he returned the lowest gross score (39) of the round.
This Sunday, Sporters play the front nine with tee off from 7.30 to 8am.
The Stanthorpe club’s foursomes championships will follow after Sporters tee off, so all Sporters will tee off from the first tee.
