Another Thursday, another healthy dose of Stableford scoring at Queenstown Golf Club! There was plenty to celebrate today, with some cracking scores across the field, a generous helping of twos, and a very special milestone that deserves a huge round of applause.
But let's start with the man at the top of the leaderboard…
Bill Davidson Takes the Top Spot!
Bill put together a superb 43 Stableford points to take out the win, collecting $30 for his efforts. Kris Brewin and Sue Cunningham were hot on his heels with 42 points apiece, while John Anderson and Pieter-Jan Werbrouck rounded out the top five on 41.
It was a competitive day, with 19 players making the prize list — so plenty of people had something to smile about on the way back to the clubhouse!

A Huge Milestone – John Kennedy's First Hole-in-One!
Now for the big news of the day!
A massive congratulations to John Kennedy, who scored his very first hole-in-one on the 11th!
And here's the remarkable part: John has been playing golf for 61 years before finally getting that magical ace. Sixty-one years of golf, countless swings and putts, and now that moment every golfer dreams about!
They say patience is a virtue, and John has certainly demonstrated it. We hope you enjoyed every second of it, John — what a memory to add to the golfing scrapbook. The 11th will never look quite the same again!
The Twos – A Busy Day for the Short Stuff
There were plenty of tidy shots out there today, with 10 twos recorded on the prize report, each worth $6. Kris Brewin managed to make two of them!
A little extra reward for those who managed to get the ball in the hole in the regulation two shots — and John, of course, has rather raised the bar with his ace!
Birdies & Net Eagles – Hole 18 and Hole 16
There was also some handy money up for grabs in the special draws.

Well Played, Everyone!
Congratulations to Bill on his Stableford win, all our prize winners, and especially John Kennedy on an unforgettable first hole-in-one after 61 years of playing.
Golf has a funny way of keeping us coming back — sometimes it's a great score, sometimes it's a lucky bounce, and sometimes it's a moment like John's that makes all those years worthwhile.
Here's to more good golf, great company and a few more magical moments at QGC!
