Another fine day for our golf , very warm but no rain!! It’s hard to get it just right , hopefully it will just get better from now on Autumn should bring us some nice milder days!!

This week we played a 2 person Ambrose a fun day before we get down to the serious business of our first Monthly Medal for the year next week.

Only 26 players turned up to play this week for our 2 person Ambrose it was a lot of fun made even easier with our updated playing rules of being able to place the ball anywhere including bunkers and hazards.

Winners were Kaye Mills and Pauline Ryan with 75 nett. Runners up were Liz Edwards and Pat Hodda with 75.25 nett. Five teams were in the rundown which went to 82 nett.

Nearest the pins were team second shot on holes 2, 7 and 16 with both players in the team receiving a voucher. The Pro Pin was won by Desley Harrington $25.

Next week we have our first Monthly Medal for the year . You can play anywhere in the field but we will have two divisions : 0-29 and 30-45. If you haven’t paid your Special Events money for the year you can still pay this Thursday.

February 1st

Welcome back everyone to 2024 Ladies Golf, We had a lovely field of 36 with a few more still to return back to golf . The weather was fine ( couple of sprinkles as we started) the course was in great condition and we had a bevy of boys at the halfway house waiting to feed us.
Everyone was complaining about feeling a bit rusty and not playing very well and the scores were not spectacular but I think everyone enjoyed their day, catching up with their friends, hearing all the news and getting all the info about our year ahead.

I’ll start with the results of the day: we played a Team of Four best 3 scores to count . The winners were Colleen Kelly, Nancy Douglas, Glenda Ballard and Yvonne Morrison with 106 points. Runners up were Kaye Mills, Pat Hodda, Liz Edwards and Lisa Smith. With 101 points. Rundown was Marlene Wyatt, Denise Melling, Denise M Culpitt and Denise F Culpitt with 97 points and Doreen Rankine, Marilyn Berryman, Marilyn Burns and Lilian Simpson with 96 points.

All prizes were donated by Ladies Golf except for the Nearest the Pins on the 2nd and the were donated by Barry .

Nearest the pins , winners were 2nd Div 1 : Alison Blair Div 2: Yvonne Morrison. 7th Div 1: Kaye Mills, Div 2: Denise Melling. 16 th Div1: Denise F Culpitt Div 2: Bev Culpitt. All team members received a ball.
Pro Pin was won by Denise F Culpitt $35.

As mentioned in the newsletter we have a busy few months ahead! Our first monthly medal is on the 7 th March as you will see in your new fixture books. Our special event forms are available , they need to be returned by 29 th Feb so Marlene has time to prepare all the paperwork.
