Golfers in Stanthorpe celebrated Australia Day in style. A good field teed off in the single stableford kindly sponsored by Andersens Stanthorpe, courtesy of Gary Kirby. There were plenty of carts decorated to reflect the Aussie Day theme and golfers dressed in their best Australia Day garb added to the fun and spirit of the day.
On the course it was Nathan Stibbard’s time to shine returning the best score in the men’s section. His was the only score in the forties and 41 points won the day. Club President, Len Leigh once again showed his best man qualities, very supportive of the winner after 39 points.
Neta Thouard returned to the winner’s circle in the ladies’ event. She was pleased take home the winner’s prize, the floor rug had been eyeing off and was hoping to win. The runner up was Lisa Stuart with a score of 31 points.
In addition to prizes for the golf comepitition there were also prizes also on offer for best themed sections, attire and gear.
Mei Bell and Steven Bell were very striking in their Australia Day matched clothing and took out the best dressed award. Stephen Kay spent many hours in decking out his buggy and was rewarded with the best decorated buggy award.
