Stanthorpe golfers played their last event on the last Saturday of January, a medley 4 BBB stableford with the winners raking the honours for the David Townsend Memorial. Appreciation is extended to the sponsor of the day, Max Hunter, for supplying the trophies on the day.
A good field of 60 players turned out on the day amd some good scores were returned. Best on the day was from Mei Bell and Eric Ree with 46 points. Both players complemented each other and their consistent scoring gave them 23 points on each of the nines.
The count back was in use to find a runner up, with three teams on 45 points. A very close affair with the nod going in favour of Howard Batty (visitor) and Tod Beckett. The other two teams settled for the run down.
Men’s pin shots were claimed by Brendan McMillan at 3, Todd Sutherlang at 12 and Eric McLellan at 17. For the ladies, Christine Hood was successful at 3, Lorraine Evans at 12 and Margie Locke at 17. Pro-pins were claimed by Hamish Adam at 1/10, Mick O’Brien at 5/14 and Brad Silver at 9/18. The birdies nest at 16 was unclaimed.
Featuring in the run down were Rod Werner and Darryl Boekholt (45 ), Brendan McMillan and John Green (45) and Max Smith and Cal Smith (44).
