Today was a very special day at our Golf Club for the ladies because it is the "Mark Churcher Day" that everyone loves to support. It is a very popular day and it is a shame that rain interfered to an extent with the numbers and the results - however it did produce some good highlights.
We had 77 starters which was good considering the overnight rain & heavily laden skies this morning. I did come accross some very damp & ruffled ladies at the end of the competition but they all were still smiling even if their highlight of the day was finishing the last hole.
The rules for today were that Division 1 were to play stroke off the blue markers; Division 2 were to play stableford off the white markers and Division 3 were to play stableford off the white markers.
RESULTS:
DIVISION 1: (PLAYING STROKE OFF THE BLUE MARKERS)
WINNER: Michele Martin - 77 nett
RUNNER UP: Leonie Casey - 78 nett
3RD: Doon Jansen - 79 nett
DIVISION 2: (PLAYING STABLEFORD OFF THE WHITE MARKERS)
WINNER: Marianne Lanham - 34 points

DIVISION 2: 8th HOLE: not won; 14th HOLE: Yvonne Wilson
DIVISION 3: 8th HOLE: not won; 14th HOLE: Val Scott
BALLS WENT TO: Division 1: 82 nett; Division 2 & 3 : 27 points on a countback
THERE WAS NO HANDICAPPING TODAY AS WE DID NOT PLAY OFF THE OFFICIAL RED MARKERS.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY as reported to me: Doon Jansen had a birdie on the 5th; Kay Adams had a birdie on the 10th; Robyn Johnston playing on the 9th hit her drive into the tree on the left, the ball went backwards & it took her four shots to get out of the trees and near the green where she chipped in off the green and into the hole to score 6; Robin Incoll parred the 16th and was in the hole on the 17th for 5; Rhonda Robertson had a FMLT (failed to make the ladies tee); Debbie Grinham Parred the 3rd and the 7th; Michele Martin parred the 2nd and the 13th; Lorraine Linnert on the 17th tee hit her drive out of bounds into the Narara creek, so hitting 3 off the tee onto the bunker on the 16th, then onto the path on the 17th, hit a tree and the ball finished up behind her - on that hole she scored 11 but it doesn't finish there....on the 18th she was on the green for four and 5 putted for 9; Julie Hazzard & Helen Stuart had a great highlight by getting over the water at the 3rd from the white markers; Jan Fitzgerald had 5 on the 9th; Yvonne Wilson got nearest the pin on the 14th; Sharon Anderson parred the 14th; Elizabeth McNamara was not in the water on the front nine; Margaret Pratt went to get out her wet gear from her bag when it started raining & pulled out her swimsuit that had been accidently put in her golf bag.( I would have liked to have had the camera handy for that one)
