A strong field of 48 golfers set out to compete in the December Monthly event on Saturday the 6th of December in hot conditions. The course is in excellent condition, and this showed in the scoring which was equally good. The event was generously sponsored by members Santo Cavallaro and Eric Ree and we thank them for their generous support. The men’s winner was young gun Jack Parker who won with a 68 nett on a countback from the incredibly well moustached Johnny Green who is

Well, it’s that time of the year again when things get a little crazy and out on the Stanthorpe golf course it’s no different. Thanks to our generous sponsors, Brendon Barker, Jason Bacon and Nigel Eldridge 56 golfers were subjected to golf with a twist. Playing a 2 ball Ambrose on the front nine and an alternate shot on the back nine was interesting enough but then we had to putt around obstacles on the green, hit onto a green with 2 pins, one with no pin and one with the pi

More mature Golfers will remember the song by Brook Benton, ‘A Rainy Night in Georgia’, well it was a rainy night in Stanthorpe right through to the morning. The early starters were blessed with playing in heavy, soaking rain. The more enlightened Golfers who started at a civilised hour were blessed with sunshine and refreshing breezes. ‘Such is the Life of the Everyday … Golfer’ (song by Glen Campbell). Yours truly had the pleasure of playing with Max Smith, a retired Stanth

A small field of 37 golfers set out to compete in the Single Stableford event on Saturday the 15 th of  November under cloudy and potentially stormy skies. The rains did eventually come, and most players got through their 18 holes unscathed. But when it did rain it did get cold and wet to which the writer can attest to. The course is in excellent condition, and this was reflected in the scoring. The event was generously sponsored by members Kev Rowling and Rod Werner, and we

What an extraordinary day’s play was held at Stanthorpe on Saturday; wind, rain – perfect! Thunder … hmm. Lightening? And we headed for the Club house. The Vice Captain had to make a painful call and the day’s play was abandoned but fortunately we had all passed the halfway mark and so could still have a Nine-hole competition. Saturday was one of the standout days in the SGC calendar as it was the famous M & D Auto Day. Mick and Judy Spiller make it such a fun day for everyon

Oh dear … the Captain, My Captain, is away for a few weeks and writing this blog column has fallen to me, the Vice Captain. Vice by name and vice by nature. I think we shall begin with reference to that Western culture forming literature of ‘Peanuts’ and Snoopy trying to begin his story: ‘It was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly a [golf] shot rang out. A golf buggy appeared on the horizon.’ Well, we can say that it was dark and stormy weather on the day (see photo). However,

Saturday 25th and Sunday the 26th of October saw big fields of golfers from as far away as Boyne Island, Emu Park, Redcliffe, Wantima, Beerwah and Windaroo Lakes as well as golfers from all the local courses from Toowoomba to Tenterfield compete in the Stanthorpe Open. This is one of the main events on the local golfing calendar and due to the efforts put in by the local members and our fantastic greenkeeper Bill Pyne the course was in excellent condition which we were able t

A good field of 44 golfers set out to compete in the Single Stableford event on Saturday the 18 th  October under beautiful blue skies and warm temperatures. Potential forecasted storms never eventuated and play continued uninterrupted. The course has really dried out and there is plenty of run at the moment and these conditions helped to produce some excellent scores. The event was generously sponsored by Stanthorpe Quality Meats, and we thank them for their continued suppor

Sunday saw 10 teams compete in the annual 27 hole Mixed Foursomes Championship which was played in fine conditions. This comp was sponsored by Dep’s Beautiful Nails and their long-term support is appreciated. Although mixed foursomes can be a difficult game to play some pretty good scores were returned. The winning score of 126 was produced by the husband and wife team of Matt and Nikki Waterworth. This was the fifth year in a row that Matt and Nikki have won this trophy and
