Golf - Tuesday 24th April 2012

Another lucky day for the Ladies Golf.  The rain held off for the most of the match with only the later players getting caught with some light showers.  Considering yesterday was a wet day the course was in remarkably good condition.  There were some puddles here and there but overall the course was very good.  It is raining, with thunder and some high winds as I write this so we had a good little window this morning which we all appreciated.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY as reported to me:  Rosemary Cohen - behind the bunker on the edge, on the downslope, with much whinging about the mud and conditions, hit her gobbler shot into the hole at the 18th for a Plus; Lorraine Bignall had a gobbler at the 4th; Marrianne Lanham had a gobbler at the 3rd; Rhonda Robertson sank a great long putt at the 17th; Anne Burke concentrated well for her good score of Plus 1; Di Beechey on the 6th hole hit her shot up into a very spindly branch of a tree where it became trapped, After many tries by her playing partners they were unable to dislodge the ball. Lyn Bates threw her driver up the tree to try to dislodge the ball and it got stuck up there as well.  The group called in the help of Maggie Minjoy in her cart & with the aid of the water rescue tool managed to get the driver and the ball out of the tree.  Di went on to wipe the hole in spite of all the help she got from her friends;  Glennis English was all square at the 17th; Leonie Casey had a very balanced game, Robyn Johnston had a gobbler at the 7th and a plus at the 8th; Dawn Tromp chipped in on the 2nd for 5; Felicity Mead had a gobbler on the 5th; my highlight was my drive on the 8th that just slipped past the hole (my best effort ever for a hole in one) & then getting the birdie putt.
