Stanthorpe Golf course was still suffering the after-effects of more midweek rain on Saturday when golfers hit the course for the Individual Stableford event sponsored by Aqua Rural Supplies.
Defying the conditions was one of the club’s more senior gentlemen, Lyle Bryant who returned a score of 39 points and then held his in own in a countback with Matt Waterworth to claim a win. Waterworth himself had an excellent one over par round while the winner will be pleased (or perhaps not) to learn that his score did not go unnoticed by the handicapper who has been quick to make the necessary reduction to his handicap.
Despite narrowly missing out on the win, runner up Matt Waterworth had a day out. He won the pin shot on three, the approach at 5/14 and the birdies nest on five. Mick O’Brien won the pin shot at 12 and Eric Ree 17.
Barry Hughes held the approach shot at 1/10 and Scott Constable at 9/18.
Darrell Boekholt, Richie Reardon and Mick O’Brien featured in the run down.
In the Ladies event Neta Thouard, returned from an extended absence, to record the winning score of 31 points just ahead of runner up Fiona Kelly (30 Points).
Linda Kelly won the Ladies pin shot on three and Mei Bell won the approaches at 12 and 17. Margie Locke receive a mention in the ladies rundown.
For the ladies Linda Kelly won the pin shot on 3 and Mei Bell won the approaches on 12 and 17. Asan Margie Locke got the rundown.

This Saturday the club has will hold the rescheduled Individual stroke and Monthly Medal which following the earlier cancellation at the beginning of December. The Event will be sponsored by club member Luke Reardon and time sheet can be found in the usual place at the Club house.
An early reminder (for those members and others that need reminding) that the annual Boxing Day Classic will be held, you guessed it on 26 December. I hear there is already plenty of interest and there is a sheet on the board at the club.
