Hawks Nest Ladies Golf

THERE were 27 ladies in the Saturday 18 hole competition last week, including visitors Jane Freeman from Pymble GC and Liz Patrick from Long Reef. Some great scores were carded in this round, though unfortunately scores were not recorded with Golf Australia due to their major revamp of the portal. The Monthly Medal round has also been pushed back until October 18th as a consequence. Carolyn Affleck and Trish Sattler may have been among those disappointed, after scoring 40 and 39 respectively. Julie Hammond though, was far from disappointed with her chip in for a birdie on the 10th. Well played, ladies!

Tuesday’s 18 Hole Competition saw 51 ladies contesting Round 1 of the Club Championships, along with the Monthly Medal. It was a B Grade Blitz with outstanding winning scores, and C Grade could not have been closer, decided on a countback. Some very determined golf was played out there, so much so, that one of our B Grade ladies broke her ball after driving it into a tree that happened to get in the way! Individual highlights today included June Biddle’s chip in for a par on the 10th, Wendy Gibson’s chip in on the 7th and Deb Gardner’s on the 18th in a great round, taking the overall lead.

Great golfing, ladies!

There were only 4 starters in this week’s Lady Vets 9 Hole Comp. We all wish Di Vercoe a speedy recovery, and hope to see her back at golf with the girls soon.

Results: 1st Marie Pegram on 16; 2nd Pat Marr 13; 3rd Maureen Ward 4

A smaller than average field of 38 played in Thursday’s Lady Vets 9 Hole event, but it was good to see Robin Hall, a country member from Sydney back in the group today. Individual highlights included a birdie on the 7th for Di Bowes on her way to today’s win; chip ins from Janet Moore from 4 metres out on the 17th , and Robyn Richardson on the 1st. (Robyn’s previous shot from 80 metres out was so close to perfect, it actually hit the pin before shooting off the back of the green.) Well played, ladies!
