Maureen Bates Memorial Day popular

By Casey O'Connor

The annual Maureen Bates Memorial Golf Day is one of the most popular dates on the Stanthorpe Golfing calendar as local golfers honour a former stalwart of the Club.

On Sunday a great field headed out on a perfect morning for the 2019 event. Neta Thouard and Max Hunter proved a winning combination taking the honours this year. The runner’s up were Ian Anderson and Terry Byrnes.

Mark Lynam and John Rawlings and Norm and Tony Steele featured in the run downs. Pin Shots went to Norm Steele (12) and Lyle Bryant (17). Aaron Simmers claimed the Pro Pin.

Members wish to thank Rex Bates and family for the prizes they supplied and for their efforts manning the BBQ again this year. Also, a special thank you to those who donated goods for the Multi Draw Raffle and helped in any way to make this a very special day.

For Sporters regulars, this Sunday tee off returns to normal time of 7.30 -8.00am this Sunday.underway.
