Stanthorpe golfers were to play the June monthly medal last Saturday 1 June and with an overcast sky and the threat of rain during the day, not all nominated players turned out for the day. For those who did, the early morning group had the favoured time of day, the p.m. group getting in a half round before the rain started. After taking shelter in the club house, the decision was made that a nine hole event would be the preferred option and be sponsored by the golf club, the medal round being abandoned and rescheduled.
Visitor, Jacob Steele, had a very good front nine of 38 which was just 2 over par for the shortened day. Playing off AGU 11, he returned a nett 32 ½ to be the declared winner. Close on his tail was Mark McCosker to take runner up with nett 34 ½, holding out Rod Paye on the same score after the count back was used. Greg Fraser and Ivan Juriss also had a good front nine holes for nett 35 to feature in the run down.
The ladies event resulted in Filomena Silver taking first prize with a nett 37 just a couple ahead of runner up, Nikki Waterworth on nett 39. Featuring in the ladies run down were Neta Thouard and Lisa Stuart.
The playing of the June monthly medal will now be held next Saturday 8 June and sponsored by Anderson’s Carpets. The programmed event was a stableford but this event will be held over to a future date.
Intending players will need to go to the on-line booking site to reserve your time.
Stanthorpe Sporters
Stanthorpe Sporters golfers played the back nine last Sunday 2 June. After the previous day’s rain, all were expecting a slow course and not much run. The early morning sunshine was quickly replaced by a cloud cover which persisted until the nine hole competition was complete, the sun re-appearing for a nice winter day.
Winner of the day was Dick Hilton who had the low score of nett 30. His score was matched by Ivan Juriss but the cut of the cards was in favour of Hilton. Juriss received some compensation however by taking the runner up prize and the best gross score of 40 for the day.
In the minor prizes, Angelo Maugeri collected for the run down with a nett 32 and John Rawlings collected the ball on offer for his pin shot at hole 12. No takers for the pin at 17.
Sporters on again next Sunday with the front nine in play. All welcome to come and play with tee off from 8.00 am.
