Another big field of ladies teed off on Wednesday (13 October) in the popular Cherry Tree Coffee and Dining Single Stableford. The ladies quickly learned that the freshly cored greens were making putting a challenge.
Leading the field with a score of 40 points was Maria Carey. Normally a score of 40 points would have you all alone at the top of the leader board but Jan Aspinall and Lyn McKillop made it an awesome threesome. Unfortunately, there had to be a winner and after the countback it was Maria taking home the Cherry Tree voucher. As the runner up Jan received a sponsor voucher. Balls in the rundown went to Lyn McKillop (40), Helen Olsen and Vicki Bennett (39), and Dian Macdonald (37). The Pro Pin was shared by Mary Young, Margaret Adcock and Majella Kahler.
Saturday the ladies played a Single Stableford. Anna Cox and Judy Lester both played well returning 37 points. After another countback Anna Cox got the nod ahead of Judy and took home a Pro Shop Voucher thanks to sponsorship from Sam Eaves Golf. Balls in the run down went to Judy Lester (37), Lyn McKillop (35), Annice Payne (34) and Helen Olsen and Mary Young (33).
Lois Wilson was the winner of the nine-hole competition played in tandem. She score 20 ahead of Jan Byrne 16 points.
Over the next six weeks there will be a great opportunity to get some assistance with your golf game. Sam Eaves will be running group lessons each Tuesday at 9am or 4pm Thursday.
There will be a maximum of six ladies in group and cost is $25. A different aspect of golf will be addressed each week. In Week one starting 19 or 21 October the focus will be on driving. Bookings can be made at the Pro Shop.
