Tuesday Ladies Stableford

15th October, 2019

Only a countback could separate Andrea Rowe & Peg Gebhardt this week. Both came in with an impressive 35 stableford points. Andrea won the comp on countback with a 20 point back nine.

Other Scores were Sharyn Roberts 31 points & Judy Reilly 28 points. The extra comp was most 2 pointers and Andrea also got the chocolates in that with 9.

Peg Gebhardt won the nearest to the pin on Hole 8, a great shot considering she had a close encounter with a ‘Slithering Sam’ only a few holes earlier and should have been a bit shaky!!

Andy Phillips in Rare Form

Andy Phillips surprised everyone, including himself, with a blistering net 65 in today’s stroke round. Andy was 7 strokes clear of joint runners up, Trevor Maxted & Peter Weiss on net 72. Given the excellent conditions, the remaining scores were disappointing. Dick Cleland posted the worst score collecting the Mars Bar.
