Warwick Sporters could barely wipe the smile off their faces this past week as they hit the course for the first time in a couple of weeks. After weeks of washouts and an early call for the previous week’s round to be called off, there was a late reprieve for those suffering cabin fever. Officials deemed the course playable on Thursday and 28 restless Sporters players teed off.
In the small field the one known as, “the unluckiest golfer ever to play the game”, Garry Adcock, had a change of fortune.
The layoff may have been beneficial because he came good with a winning score of 36 points ahead of runner up Charlie Morrison (35 Points). Morrison was busy fine-tuning his game before departing for the upcoming Outback Masters which begins in a couple of weeks.
Balls in the run down went the way of Tony Kahler (35) Paul Dautzenberg (33) and Daffy Hynes (32 – c/b).
Trevor Davies collected eight balls at the Pro Pin 11. Nearest the pin on 5 went to Don Warrener was nearest the pin at five and Daffy Hynes at seven.
Sporters were unanimous in their praise of greenkeeper Shane and his band of volunteers for the manner in which the course was presented after the weeks of wet weather. Great job.
