The Warwick Golf Club Opening Day competition has a rich heritage and it was wonderful to see such a field of 80 teeing off in Sunday’s event celebrating the start of the 2022.
Sam Eaves, Warwick Golf Club’s resident golf pro, kindly sponsored this important day and provided plenty of trophies for those that played well.
None in the big field played better than Ian Stewart. “Stew” has been showing some good form now and then in short bursts, but on Sunday golfing stars really aligned as he and his playing partner, wife Janine, put together a score of 47 points to win the mixed competition.
The Stewarts had 25 points on the front nine with 22 on the back nine. Ian himself had 10 points for the first three holes and five consecutive three-pointers on the back nine. It was his best display of golf in years.
Shane and Molly Scotney took the runner up prize in the mixed section.
The best score of the day (48 points) belonged to Toowoomba player Damon Goodwin and his partner, Killarney product, Clayton Frank who they won the overall winners trophy.
Al Matthews and Greg Wallace won the runner in the men’s division.
There were plenty of balls offered for pins and run downs in what was a great start to the 2022 season.
