Thursday Stableford – 5th February 2026
It was one of those classic Queenstown days where the weather couldn’t quite make up its mind — a mix of cloud cover, patches of sunshine, and just enough breeze to keep you honest (and remind you that golf balls are surprisingly light objects). But that didn’t stop a cracking turnout for today’s Thursday Stableford event.
Stableford Results
The leaderboard was tight, but the winners rose to the top:
1st – Rodney Clay – 39 pts – $40 (nice to see Rodney cooking both on and off the course!)
2nd – Mark Doherty – 38 pts – $35
3rd–7th (tie) – Pieter-Jan Werbrouck, John Strettell, Errol Frewen, Tom James, and Frank Garthwaite – all on 37 pts, $30 each
8th–13th (tie) – Kim Wilkinson, Ross Herron, Ken McKenzie, Russell Thoms, Bruce Boivin, and David Grant – 36 pts, $20 each
14th–19th (tie) – Genevieve Herron, Ernst Wenger, Corey Sinteur, Grant Hardy, Annette Fea, and Alan Gaunt – 35 pts, $15 each
A fine field of competitors and plenty of strong scores across the board — clearly, a few of you brought your A-game today!
Two’s Club
The short holes were alive with action today — plenty of accurate irons and a few near misses:
Two’s winners ($9 each):
James Pearson, Russell Thoms, Rodney Clay, Ron Cusick, Tom James, Matt Evans, Colin Tanner, David Grant, and Grant Hardy.
Birdies & Net Eagles
The Birdie Hole was #10, and four players made the most of it — Tom James, Maurice Keith, Kim Wilkinson, and Colin Tanner, each pocketing $21.
Meanwhile, over on Hole 1, Frank Garthwaite struck gold — the only player to snag a Net Eagle on the day! His work was worth a tidy $85, taking home the entire pot himself. Not a bad day’s work, Frank — drinks on you next time!
Special Prizes
Final Word
Another wonderful day at Queenstown Golf Club — great weather, great company, and plenty of impressive golf. From steady scoring to sharp short games, it was the perfect way to spend a summer’s day on the fairways.
Here’s to more of the same next week — sunshine, good laughs, and maybe even another lucky net eagle or two!
Have a great evening everyone,
