Stanthorpe Golf and Country Club Results for July 6, 2024
Waterworth Whitewash! What an outstanding day for local golfing talents of Matthew and Nikki Waterworth. Matthew won the prestigious ‘Dale Mullen’s Trophy’ with the best gross score on the day. And Matthew’s wife, Nikki won the women’s best gross. Congratulations to you both.
The Dale (Duck) Mullen’s trophy is sponsored by Michael Thompson. Michael spoke movingly of Dale, their friendship and the tragedy of Dale’s early passing 20 years ago. We are grateful to Michael for bring Dale’s memory before the club each year.
Michael also sponsored nearest the pin shots (pro pins) for each hole. Congratulations go to; Wesley Smith, Ivan Juriss, Hayden Smith, Dave Burgess, Scott Constable, Michael Thompson, Michael O’Brien and Greg Fraser. The Ladies pin shots went to Nikki Waterworth, Lisa Stuart and Loraine Evans.
There was a concurrent (net) competition on the day, being the first comp. of the month and a big shout out to Mick O’Brien for sponsoring the ‘Monthly Medal.’ Mick is one of the really solid club golfers and his contribution and sponsorship is greatly appreciated. The Ladies winner was Nikki Waterworth with Linda Kelly runner-up on a count back. The men’s winner was Lochie Hendry with Rick Goodrich runner-up. The putting competition went to Lisa Stuart (30) and Todd Beckett and Ivan Juriss both on 29 putts.
It was an icy day. The wind and chill factor meant that only the die hards fronted the fairways. There is a certain sort of bonding that takes place on really cold golf days … ‘all frozen together.’ Never the less, we were honoured to give a warm welcome visitors from Ballarat, Redcliffe, and Gatton.
Some of our members are not well and our thoughts go out to Kay Webb’s husband, Bob, Lyall Bryant, and Aaron Simmers. We hope all return to full health and fairways soon.
Next week (13 July) will be a single stableford competition sponsored by Reece Plumbing - with many thanks to Tom Fittock..
