2012 LADIES FOURSOMES CHAMPIONSHIPS

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2012 CLUB CHAMPIONS : MICHELLE McGRATH & LYN BATES.

The weather turned on us just on the day of the club Foursomes Championships when we are all playing 27 holes of golf.  We had light showers early in the day and then it fined up to be not a bad day until the afternoon when the skies closed in and the late players got drenched. ("not happy Jan")  We had a lot of rain overnight and the course was very wet to start with so the going was tough at times.

My playing partner was Rosemary Cohen and we played with Lorraine Bignall & Chris Cayley.  We did have a lovely day (apart from the wet) with some good highlights the best of which was Lorraine's drive to the 5th green where she won nearest the pin  Rosemary & I were astounded to find that we had won the nett in Division 2 when we came into the clubhouse and that was the cause of much celebration.

The Golf Event of the day was the Ladies Foursomes Championship 2012 - Division 1 Handicaps 0 to 26 1/2; Division 2 Handicaps 27 to 45.

We had 68 starters.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY as reported to me:  Lyn Bates had a birdie gobbler for 3 on the 7th; Rhonda Robertson & Ann Baker had a birdie; Jan Martin & Rosemary Cohen had a nice par on the 3rd and played the 7th hole well on the second time around; Lorraine Bignall and Chris Cayley had some nice pars on the par 3's including the 5th hole when Lorraine hit a magic drive. 

As we were in the latter groups to come in (the wet bedragled ones) I did not have time to gather any more highlights - however,  if there were any they would have faded into insignificance after Rosemary & I won the Nett in our division.
