Golf - Thursday 27th November 2014 - Christmas Closing Day











We had some nice slow rain today which was wonderful for the course - however it would have been better if it had held off until after lunch so we could have watched the rain falling from inside the clubhouse.  The fist half of the morning was quite pleasant but then the rain really set in causing the competition to be reduced to a nine hole competition.

My playing partner today was Sheena Asken and we were reduced to a two woman team.  Given that we did not do too badly with our scoring and our best highlight was a great birdie at the 8th hole. Up to the 9th hole our game was very enjoyable with the light drizzle did not worrying us too much.  By half way through the 10th fairway we thought coffee in the clubhouse sounded good.

The Golf Event of the day was a 3 Person Ambrose which was reduced to a 9 hole competition when the rain got heavy and water started to cover the greens.

We had 45 starters.

RESULTS:

WINNERS:  Annette Cross, Judy Verlander and Lyn Cruickshanks - 30 3/4 points

RUNNERS UP:  Helen Potter, Bev Adams & Bernadette Kirkman - 31 1/6th points

3RD:  Lyn Bates, Val Anderson & Jann Henebury - 31 1/3rd points

NEAREST THE PINS:  There were no winners today as not everybody had a chance to play the 14th hole.

BALLS WENT TO:  33 1/2 points

BALL COMPETITION:

Rosalie Dyer, Kath Small and Carolyn Buttsworth

Fay Bailey, Lyn Puiatti & Kerry Williams

Sue Scobie, Dawn Tromp & Annie Brink

Marianne Lanham, Kay Baillie & Beri Hanley

Lorraine Bignall, Faye Levenspiel & Beulah Cant

NO HANDICAPPING TODAY!

We were all wet and bedraggled when we came in from the course so I did not get around to highlights or checking out the best Glamour Shoes today.  I hurried home to dry off after presentation and forgot to take a photo of Judy Verlander's contribution today but I did get a visual of them.  I declare Judy Verlander the "Best Glamour Shoes" over the Christmas Closing days.  I don't think anyone else came even close after having a glance around the room looking for glitter shoes.  Maybe next year we can be more competitive.  CONGRATULATIONS JUDY!
