Warm conditions and the occasional cooling breeze set the scene for another successful week of golf at Proserpine Golf Club, with players across all divisions turning in impressive results.
Tuesday’s Single Stroke event delivered excellent scores, with Brad Fleet leading the men’s field on 66 nett, closely followed by Peter Lindsay on 67. In the ladies’ division, Jacqui Wall claimed the win with 69 nett ahead of Leanne Alexander. The Vets competitions also produced strong numbers, with Allison McCarthy taking the ladies’ title on 65 nett, while Peter Lindsay backed up his form with a 67 nett win in the men’s.
On Wednesday, the ladies contested a Stableford round, where Karen Oni posted a steady 37 points to take the win. Thursday’s men’s Stableford brought standout performances across both grades, including a brilliant 42-point round from B Grade winner Bradley Wilkinson.
Friday’s 9-hole run, sponsored by the Metropole Hotel, saw Kerrie Johannesen top the leaderboard with 25 points, while the popular Putt for Cash jackpot—now up to $1050—came agonisingly close to going off, with Sherri Meade’s putt skimming the edge of the cup.
Saturday’s Haymans Electrical Stableford competition delivered some of the week’s strongest scoring. In A Grade, Lloyd Kingston returned a superb 42 points, with Steve Hickey close behind. In B Grade, Mark Richards took the win with 37 points. The ladies’ field was equally competitive, with Toni Clauss winning on a countback from Ann Gardel.
The week wrapped up on Sunday with the Medley Single Stableford, where Brad Fleet claimed his second win of the week, finishing with an impressive 42 points.
With high scoring and growing excitement around Friday’s jackpot, it’s shaping up to be another big week ahead at Proserpine Golf Club.
