The recent blast of ‘artic weather’ found the Warwick Sporters again last week as they headed out for their weekly round sponsored last week by the Warwick Hotel – thanks to publican Garry Watt who continues to support the club and players.
If this weather continues Wayne Walters will be giving careful consideration to putting his prize towards a bottle of rum to keep himself warm and in shape for next week’s round. Wayne returned a very creditable winning score of 37 points two points clear of runner-up Mal Galloway, (35). Charlie Morrison and Danny Lyons (34), Matt Penn and David Hynes ( 33) and Grant Ollerton (32) each received a ball in the rundown.
At the Pro pin(s) on the 11th Garry Adcock collected three balls, Matt Penn two and Dan Bowles one ball. Matt Penn added to his collection at the Pin on the 17th picking three balls, Ron Simon two and Mal Galloway one.
Nearest the pins went to Charlie Morrison at the fifth, Matt Penn the seventh, A Skinner ninth and Mark Simmonds 16th.
Matt Penn may not need to buy golf balls in the near future after his haul.
We all know business has been tough of late but there are a group of Sporters who did not realise how dire the situation is. The group considering starting a ‘GoFundMe’ page with proceeds to fund purchasing a pair of long pants for Danny Lyons. Theirs is cracking it hardy Danny and then there is plain crazy.
As we mentioned last week there will be some missing faces at Sporters for the next few weeks. Charlie Morrison, Don Warrener, Eamon Cockram and Trevor Davies and partners have headed the call to “Head West”. They are currently en-route to their first port of call on the Outback Masters trail – Roma. Everyone wishes them good luck in the competition and safe travels. We will endeavour to check on their progress in the coming weeks.
The Sporters golfing thought for the week: Golf is a game where you yell “fore”, take six and write down five.
