The Saturday and Sunday competition was Par – On Saturday there were no entries, and on Sunday there were 25 entries. Guy Walmsley was 1st on 0, and the following four players on -1, 2nd Karen Shaw, 3rd Tony Taylor, 4th Chris Ranish, and 5th Brett Abercrombie. #16 was popular for Twos for Anthony North, David Weir, and Karen Shaw.
Grumpies – Results from the Stableford round on Tuesday 16 July – 1st George Hunt 39 points, 2nd Arthur Warren 38 points, 3rd Pete Halstead 37 points. Twos on #16 for George Hunt and Arthur Warren.
9-hole ladies – Last Wednesday 17 July – The 9-holers played another catch up round last week including Par and Putting. Par results on count back – 1st Tania Williamson, 2nd Lizzy Thompson, 3rd Ali Russell. Putting results – 1st Doreen Allen, 2nd Ali Russell, 3rd Phillipa Reid. PGG Wrightson closest to the pin – #8 Billie Holmes, #16 Jane Fanselow-Price. We are all looking forward to golf on Thursday, followed by the walk through of the club house. Exciting times.
18-hole ladies – Results from Wednesday 17 July – Fun Away Day at Riversdale Beach was played in great spirits and great weather. Foursomes can be an interesting experience! Sadly, our enthusiasm didn’t match our performance – except for Emily Loughnan & Kelly Taylor, and Jane Terpstra & Felicity Warren, who were placed. Netia Morison was in the wining Stableford team playing with Jane Williams, 55 points. Julie Dondertman & Kelly Taylor were closet to the pin on #5 and #16 whilst Felicity Warren/Jane Terpstra were closest to the pin for two shots on #6. Obviously, accuracy for some of us, was great. We didn’t win any raffles either!
