All the action at Stanthorpe Sporters was on the front nine last Sunday morning.
With a few of the regular players still away including El Presidente President Thorny.
Story is that he still stranded out West with car problems.
Hopefully the truck with the spare parts will finds him soon.
The wash up was a smaller group than usual on course last week.
None the less it was another enjoyable round especially for Margie Locke who took advantage of her golf handicap, a generous 27 to claim a win with a score of nett 20.
Thanks to that handicap Margie finished well ahead of the rest of the field with a convincing win.
Hmm – her handicap I hear is just about to undergo an upgrade which is likely to make her task a little more difficult next time round.
Handicappers – there like referees, no one loves them.
Two players finished on nett 28 went to a cut of the cards to find the runner up.
It was Dick Hilton who got the nod over Aaron Simmers who settled for the run down.
Paul Armstrong returned the Best gross score of the day (40 for the nine holes).
Interesting that the only eight shots separated the lowest to highest gross scores, so the field is hot on Paul’s heels.
There was only one pin shot on offer on Sunday and Mark Lynam claimed that with a good tee shot at the third hole.
This Sunday Sporters play the back nine with tee off times from 7.30 to 8am.
There is as always, an open invitation for everyone all to come and play.
