Golf - Tuesday 28th August 2007

Today was a special day at our club for past members to join us for lunch and our presentation. The event for the day was a stableford with Veterans in conjuction.

It was a beautiful sunny day - still a little wet underfoot but better than Sunday. We had 78 starters & quite a number of past members who joined us for lunch & it was good to see them there.

The results of the day : 1st Division : Sheena Asken with a lovely 36 (just fresh from her championship win) ; Runner up Debbie Grinham with 35, 3rd - Lorraine Linnert with 34.

nearest the pins 8th Shirley Daly; 14th Debbie Grinham.

2nd Division : Glennis English with a fantastic 41; runner-up Ronda Jordon 36; 3rd Sharon Anderson

Nearest the pins 8th Lyn Bates; 14th Paula Drew

3rd Division: Kath Small with a great 36; runner-up Rosemary Cohen 35; 3rd Yvonne Cumming 33. Balls went to 32 on a count back and the CCR was 76 or 33 points.

Barbara Hilliard and Berry Hanly were presented with their veterans brooch.

Highlights for the day reported to me were: Rosemary Cohen - a birdie on the 8th; Sheena Asken a birdie on the 11th; Doon Jansen did some good chipping today; Kay Adams chipped in on the 12th; Trish Goulding had some great 3 pointers & played with lovely people; Shirley Daly had a great shot to the 8th green; Rae Brown had a gobbler on the 10th; Yvonne Cumming did a drive on the 14th that ended up resting inside a pine cone -( fortunately today there was preferred lies ); Leanne Moore had 7 strokes on the 18th & today had her best score ever;

Paula Drew had a birdie on the 14th and won nearest the pin; for me it was a gobbler on the 14th to get me 3/3.

My playing partners today were Yvonne Bean, Paula Drew and Bev Adams. We had a big highlight today when all four of us scored 3/3 on the 5th.
