Golf - Tuesday 14th December 2010 - Pro Shop Day








































































































































We were finally able to run the Pro Shop Day in fine weather which was very welcome.
The Pro Shop Day is an Annual Event with prizes donated by the Pro Shop. There is no handicapping today because we all did not play off our normal ladies red markers. Division 1 played stroke off of the blue markers and Division 2 & 3 played stableford off of the white markers. It was a challenging day and a fun day. I thought it was a good day and enjoyed hitting off the white markers for a change of pace - even though my score did not reflect that. My playing partners were Yvonne Wilson & Barbara Stratford who were great company.
We had 78 starters with visitors from Magenta Shores.

DIVISION 1 - STROKE (OFF THE BLUE MARKERS)
WINNER: Di Thomlinson - 76 nett
RUNNER UP: Deborah Wright - 78 nett on a countback
