The annual Bannister Day golf event on Saturday attracted 21 players for the men’s Stableford competition and 17 players for the ladies’ Stableford game.
Steve Manns was the men’s winner finishing the day with a very good score of 43 stableford points while Trudy Elder, (a Bannister family descendant) won the ladies’ event, also with 43 points.
Manns played very well but had some tough competition with Anthony Polack narrowly behind in second place with 41 points.
Stewart Fraser finished third on 37 points and a countback was then required to separate 4th and 5th places with Geoff Rorke edging out Garry Wilkin, after both finished with 36 stableford points.
In the ladies competition, Elder was well out in front of the rest of the field but it was a fight for second place when Narelle Kriz and Daph-ne Cross had to be separated by a countback after both came in with 37 points.
Next best was Wan Sipatsa, Geraldine Fran-cisco, Carmel Dunn (another sponsor descend-ant) and Fay Hardwick, who all posted 34 points with Ann Dunn, on 33 points, rounding out the top placings.
Nearest to the Pin prizes in the men’s compe-tition were won by Greg Clark (B Grade) on the 3rd hole, Peter Robinson on the 7th hole, Geoff Rorke (C Grade) on the 8th hole and Jay Egan (A Grade) on the 15th hole while the winners in the ladies competition (judged on the 15th hole) were Fay Hardwick, Susan Goonrey and Pat Polack.
