The Annual Bannister golf day, sponsored by the Bannister family, was held on Saturday with a good field of 21 in the men’s division.
It seems if you want to win a golf tournament these days, you just need to sponsor one!
For the second week running, the sponsor of a golf event has won it.
The winner on Saturday was Michael Bannister with a good all-around score of 38 points, his best score of the year.
(Michael copped a bit of a ribbing from other golfers after he walked away with all the winnings and, embarrassed by winning his own sponsored event, Michael left the club early, citing an important bus run he had to do.)
Second place went to Geoff Rorke with a good, solid score of 37 points.
There were a number of players on 35 points: Peter ‘Ding’ Lawrence won third place on a countback from Ben Tranter, Brian Russ and Mark Quinn.
The Nearest the Pin winner was Scott Mayne.
The Ladies Bannister Day field had 20 golfers taking part with Sally Bannister finishing with 38 points for the win.
Julie Livingston was a close second posting 37 points followed by Fay Hardwick (35), Janet Place (34) and Robynne Morton on 33.
The Nearest the Pin winners on the 11th hole were Place for A Grade, Morton in B Grade and new comer to golf, Stevie Bishop (who was back in Cobar for the weekend), was closest for C Grade.
The Bannister family have continued to sponsor this annual event, with Saturday being the 67th year—contributed
