Hawks Nest Ladies Golf

THE August westerlies made conditions on the last Saturday of the month challenging. As only 19 wind swept ladies finished the round, the results were all in one. But despite the gale the scores were fantastic, with our winner, Roma Bernardin coming home with 41 points! Roma felt she was striking the ball well, and sinking putts right, left and centre to be 2 shots clear of runner up, Janet Moore on 39. Well played, ladies!

Results: Saturday 30/8/25

Tuesday’s 18 hole event was a stroke round for the Monthly Medal, and it was great to see a field of 40 ladies participating including our newest player, Marie Mole. Once again there were some fantastic scores carded, with Debbie Booth at the top of the leaderboard for the second week in a row. This week, sporting her lucky British Open towel, Debbie played some great golf to take the win on a count back from Sue Kovacs, both on 66 nett. Sue also had a lovely round, which included a chip in for birdie on the 7th, and 4 pars. Deb Matheson is finding some good form with a chip in for birdie on the 8th, and a chip in for par on the 18th. Robyn Wade birdied the 16th after landing her tee shot on the green; and Judy Benson chipped in on the 4th. Well played, ladies!

There was no competition for the Thursday Lady Vets, nor the Saturday Ladies due to the Pro Am tournament on the weekend. Course renovations also mean there will be no Tuesday 18 hole competition on 9/9.
