Madeline Jarman and Rino Piovesan teamed up to win this year’s Peirce trophy, a mixed 4BBB stableford, with a score of 45 points but only after a countback to separate them from Lorraine Evans and Eric McLellan, also with 45 points, but settling for runner up.
The day was sponsored by the Peirce family. Unfortunately, Bob and Elaine Peirce were not able to be present this year but the club thanks them for their sponsorship of this popular event on the programme. Club members are to be congratulated as this year was the largest number of players for some time to contest the event.
For those who were not able to find a partner, the stableford for singles resulted in a win to David Burgess with 39 points. Rod Werner returned 37 points for runner up.
Trevor Ludlow held the pin shot at 3, Mark Hendry at 12 and Ricky Chapman at 17. Kay Webb held the ladies’ pin at 3 and the approach at 17 with Helen Jones getting best approach at 12. Bradey Morant held the pro-pin at 1/10, Rino Piovesan at 5/14 and Tom Fittock at 9/18. Birdies nest not claimed.
In the run down, a ball presented to Bill Pyne and Kay Webb, Ricky Chapman, Andrew Burgess and Mick O’Brien.
On Monday, Stanthorpe club hosted a mixed 4BBB stableford event for Vets golfers. Winning score of 49 points came from John Devitt and Yvonne Pinnington from Warwick GC with an impressive 49 points for the round.
Remaining prizes went to local players, good use of local knowledge. Runner up was the team of Linda Kelly and Aaron Simmers who returned 47 points. Best nine was awarded to Linda Kelly and Terry Roser. Run down awarded to Kay Webb and Mark Baker, pin shots to Richard Reardon, Lyle Bryant, Mark Baker, Debbie Wilmot and Lyn Ludlow.
Thanks to all the volunteers who made the day so successful.
Next Saturday is a single stroke event sponsored by Michael Lane. This event will be the last single event leading up to the naming of the ‘Golfer of the Year’ male and female. After 12 months, the men’s division is fairly well decided but the ladies section shows a small gap between leading players and the final result could go either way.
Tee off from 11.30 am and the time sheet is on the board.
