The rain Gods gave Warwick Sporters a bit of a break last week, however the late starters did cop a drop or two late in the afternoon.
Sporters offered a warm welcome to a new member of the golf club, Bruce Howells. A born and bred Queenslander, Bruce moved to NSW due to work commitments but has seen the light and returned to home to Queensland and settled in Warwick to enjoy his retirement.
Sponsor of last week’s Sporters event was one of Sporters great supporters, the Hawker Function Centre.
A few days can make a world of difference to your golf score. It can be custard one day and cream the next; just ask Mick Banks. He scored 21 in the Saturday competition. On Wednesday he came out all guns blazing for his Sporters round and posted 42 points to score a comfortable win. Cec Watts was the next best. His 39 earning him the runner up spot and you can be sure that with these results the handicapper will be keen to take a close look at this pair.
Balls in the run down went to Matt Penn (38), Don Warrener (37), Tony Kahler (36). 35 points was a popular score for Ross Bell, Peter Balfour, Bill Morrison, Aaron Osborne and Ross Kingston.
At the Pro Pin on the 11th Clayton Frank collect three balls, Ross Bell two and Ross Kingston one. The Pro pin was at 13 and Ray Dudley did best picking up four balls. Tony Kahler had three and Eddie Kemp two.
Harrison Glasgow was nearest the pin on the fifth, Rob Farrell at the seventh, Don Warrener at nine and Wayne Foster on the 16th.
This week Sporters will be sponsored by another long term supporter Bells Butchery. Please check out details of these results in next week’s Spin.
Our Sporters contact had a senior moment recently, giving us the incorrect date for the rescheduled Sporters Rose Bowl event as 28 September. The amended date is in fact 28 June, so please make the necessary changes to your golfing diaries.
Gary however did share this peach with us. The Federal date has been announced (21 May) so it is time to once again be reminded of the difference between golf and the government, “IngGolf you can’t improve your lie” (with apologies to sitting and prospective MPs).
