ANOTHER week of rainy weather has interrupted fixtures and made the going a bit heavier than normal on the course. Saturday’s event was washed out, but 36 ladies contested Tuesday’s Monthly Medal round across 3 grades, without getting wet. The Play of the Day came from Maxine Mitchell, who took out the Eagles Nest on the 10th hole. She hit a fantastic tee shot which landed just 22cms from the pin to win the coveted prize – congratulations Maxine! Other great individual plays came from June Biddle, who was happy with her chip in from the rough on the 14th hole; Liz Ross, who chipped in on the 2nd; and Jeanette Patfield who also chipped in on the 17th. Well played ladies!

Thursday’s Lady Veterans was rain affected, with 34 players, only half of our normal field taking part. We were joined by 4 visitors from Merewether Golf Club, who were impressed with the great condition of our course despite the constant wet weather. Today was the Lady Vets Trophy Round, awarded to the player with the best nett score on the day. Congratulations to our winner, Debbie Booth, who finished on 32 nett, and runner up Rosarie Mullins on 35 nett. Other individual highlights included Jacki Collins scoring a stylish chip in on the 9th, which was one of the holes with water on the green today. Jacki chipped over the water and into the hole, on her way to winning the daily prize with a score of 0. Other chip ins came from Lorraine Bragg on the 13th, and Donna Gorton on the 15th. Well done to all those tenacious ladies who played today in the wet.
