Glenys continues her winning streak & Di takes a penalty!

Seven ladies teed off on Tuesday for a stableford round with a couple of reasonable scores and some not so good! Glenys Pierce had another good round with 31 stableford points winning the day. Glenys also had a birdie on hole 16. Runner up Lyn Mosey 30 points.

Extra comp was most 2 points & Di Day won this with 10 x 2 points, Di also had the shot of the day, after hitting out of the creek hazard she couldn’t find her ball. She knew it had come back and hit her (no penalty these days), and was thinking she’d have to replay her ball. When she moved to do so then discovered her ball had landed in her vest!! (Penalty then taken for unplayable). Well done Di I don’t think anyone could top that one🤣🤣

Nine ladies hit off for a stroke round which included Elaine Arthur our nine hole player. Winner of the day was Glenys Pierce with a very respectable nett 71. Runner up Andrea Rowe nett 72, who also had nearest the pin on hole 8 and a birdie on hole 14.

Extra comp – least putts was Margie Stockman with 29 on a count back from Lyn Mosey.

Ten women played a par round on Tuesday 16th in windy conditions. Jo Gebhardt won the nine hole round with Elaine Arthur runner up.

Winner of the day was Sharyn Roberts with a plus one on a count back from Glenys Pierce, well done girls. The extra comp was most holes squared and this was won by Sharyn with 14. Other scores were – Margie Stockman -1, Peggy Gebhardt -4, Judy Reilly -5, Andrea Rowe -6, Di Day -8 & Rose Duncan got the Mars Bar! Nearest the pin on hole 8 was Andrea Rowe.
