We are on a roll another good golf day just a bit of wind ! The course is drying out lots of sand around which is better than mud . Once the weather starts to warm up the grass will come back through and the course will get better and better!

We played our last Monthly Medal this week ,on time ,which was a plus! We still have quite a few events to tick off before the end of the year including the Foursomes and our delayed Club Championships!

Next week we play our delayed Fourball vs Par and next after that on the 18th August is our Foursomes Championships —- 27 holes followed by lunch all for $20 , plenty of spots available so give it a go!

On the 25th August is our Tombola day which is always a lot of fun with lots of goodies to choose from !

Now to our results:

Div 1 Monthly Medal Winner : Marilyn Burns 73 nett , Runnerup : June McFadden 74 nett, Gross Winner : Kaye Mills 87 gross, Putting: Pat Hodda .

What a great day we had today! Lovely weather , course drying out , a party with cake 🍰and lots of lovely ladies looking pretty in pink!👚👚👚👚👚👚👚👚👚👚👚👚👚👚👚👚👚👚👚👚👚👚👚👚👚👚

Today we had our Pink Lady Day— a Team of 4 with 3 scores to count combined with a pink ball competition. We also celebrated Betty’s 96th birthday, with a photographer from Twin Towns to do a story to go in the Twin Towns News , and hopefully encourage a few more ladies to take up golf!

We had a fundraiser for Breast Cancer instead of our usual raffle and raised $400 which was a great effort— this money to go to the Cancer Care ward at Tweed Hospital (keeping it in our area).

Now to the golf : The winners of the Pink Ball competition with 38 points were Denise F Culpitt, Denise M Culpitt, Denise Melling and Marlene Whyatt.

The winners of the Team of Four best three scores to count were : Pat Hodda, Pauline Ryan, Peggy Williams and Kaye Mills with 115 points. Runners up were Marilyn Burns, Alison Blair, Judy Mount and Jeanette Fisk with 107 points.

NTP’s were Div 1 on 2nd Kaye Mills . Div 2 on 2nd Pauline Benny. Div 1 on 7th Kaye Mills. Div 2 on 7th Denise Melling. All four players in their team win a ball.

Pro Pin was won by Penny Martlew $37.

Trophy donors make our prize money go a lot further especially when we have a team of four! Thankyou to our trophy donors for today.

Thanks also to Kaye and Diane for their efforts on the computer they are very happy with the new system, but every new game we play has its own challenges. It did seem strange to each have a card for the team of four but the computer worked it all out and gets it right everytime!!

Next week 4th August we play our 6 th and last Monthly Medal! On the 11th August we will have another try for Myra’s favourite game 4ball vs Par. The next week 18th August we play our Foursomes Championships , there is a sheet up in the computer room so you can pick a time to play and see who is playing , the cost is $20 (pay on the day) this includes a lunch of gourmet sandwiches and chips and 27 holes of golf. Then it is fun time again on the 25th August with a fourball and our Tombola Day !

Thanks to you all for your support and help it was a wonderful day!!

Cheers from Liz and Myra

Well we were so excited to have buggies on the course after that sudden rain on Tuesday night but what a day we had !!! It was one of the coldest days that I remember playing golf and so windy –playing golf was very difficult, and playing good golf was even harder !!

Twenty nine players made it to the end with one player pulling out when she got too cold to play, I’m sure people from southern , colder places would laugh at us!

Results for our 5th Monthly Medal are as follows:

Div 1: Medal Winner Denise Fay Culpitt with 73 Nett . Runner Up Kaye Mills with 77 Nett. Best Gross Kaye Mills with 90.

Div 2: Medal Winner Mary Swanson with 77 Nett on a c/b . Runner Up Lillian Simpson also with 77 nett. Best Gross Lillian Simpson with 104.

NTP’s: Div 1: 2nd Denise F Culpitt. 7th Kaye Mills. Div 2 :2nd Denise M Culpitt. 7th Denise Melling.

Next week we will be playing Myra’s favourite game — a four ball vs Par!! This is a Northern Rivers District event so the best two pairs available to travel to Mullumbimby on Friday 16th September will qualify .

Nominations have opened for the Foursomes Championships to be held on the 18th August it will be 27 holes of golf, one division.

See you all next Thursday , or if you want some extra golf there is always Tuesdays and Sundays!!!

Liz and Myra

Our Greenkeeper Roger informs us that it is unlikely that buggies will be on this Thursday so we have decided to change the program and play a single stableford this week if possible and play our July monthly medal next week on the 14th July , at this stage the weather looks pretty good for next week!!!

While I have your attention there are a few events coming up to think about:

14th July Monthly medal . Nominations open for our foursomes championships on the 18th August.

21st July 4bbb vs par – Northern Rivers Qualifier

28th July Pink Lady day

18th August Foursomes Championships

25th August Tombola Day

cheers to all keep dry and safe

Sorry about the delay writing this up, I have been wearing one of my other hats for the last 4 days – grandmother!!

So back to Golf ,we were so lucky to have such a lovely day on Thursday everything went according to plan , no rain, plenty of sun , the course was in great condition we had a good field I’m sure everyone had a good day. We had a free day , all you had to pay was one dollar for the Pro Pin and buy a drink. Barry provided us with a great lunch, Gourmet Sandwiches and hot chips, and the winners of each match won a ball also those who squared their game. All NTPs were also given out as balls on the day. There was a slight discrepancy in the scoring for the day, my fault I didn’t read the board properly and said that Myra’s team had won, when it was actually a draw!! So the trophy stays in Myra’s hands as her team won it last year!!

Thankyou to everyone for getting into the spirit of the day and getting dressed in your green and pink . Maybe next year we could expand on that and have a bit of a dressup theme!!

This Thursday we have our 5th Monthly Medal sorry I didnt get organised in time to tell Barry to set the sheet up in grades. Only one more to go in August!!

A few of our ladies have had Covid over the last few weeks so we wish them well. we have to keep up our covid safe practises and continue to follow the health recommendations for the good of all .

See you out there

Liz and Myra

Another beautiful day , I think we are owed a few good days after what we have had for the last two and a half years with Covid and floods . We are still working hard to get our heads around the new computer system, Kaye and Dianne are putting a lot of effort in to mastering it. They will be happy to have a day off next Thursday as there will be no cards to be checked.

Next Thursday is our annual Captains vs President Day . It is a fun day so dont stress about it when you finish you only have to record on the white board which team won , no cards to hand in so just enjoy your day. it is a free day and lunch is included.

If you can it would be nice if you could wear Pink for Myras (President) team and green for my team ( Captain)

.Myra’s team: Myra and Pauline, Kaye and Peggy,, Penny and Nancy, Judy and Mary M, Mary S andMuriel, Kerrie and Denise Fay, Desley and Marilyn Burns, Yvonne and Glenda, Marilyn Berryman and Lilian.

Liz’s Team : Liz and Rosie, Dianne and Pat, Katrina and Alison, Marilyn Brown andLyn, Denise m Culpitt and Denise Melling,Coral, Maren and Colleen, Dot and Betty.

Now on to this weeks event , we played a single Stableford in one division. As we had trophy donors for Winner and Runnerup we chose to have a third placegetter instead of extending the rundown .

Winner : Marilyn Berryman – 40 points

Runnerup : Judy Mount – 38 points

2nd Runnerup: Kerrie Campbell – 37 points

16 people in the rundown .

NTP’s : Div 1 on the 2nd Kerrie Campbell, Div 2 on the 2nd Denise Melling. Div 1 on the 6th Pat Hodda, Div 2 on the 6 th Marilyn Berryman .
