AUGUST 22

Our Saturday ladies had another fine day on the golf course today, with 39 players teeing off in a Stableford competition. The field was boosted by country players and visitors from Castlemaine and Tuggerah, and it seems that conditions at Hawks Nest suited our Victorian guest who was our winner today. Scores were very close at the top of the leaderboard, with 10 players within 5 shots of the leader on 36. Then there was an absolute log jam of 16 ladies only another few shots behind. It’s great to see such close competition in our ladies’ club events at Hawks Nest, and a testament to the skilled playing group we have.

Tuesday was a splendid spring-like day, hard to believe it was still August. The blue skies and warm temperature brought out a great field of 48 ladies for a really enjoyable 18 hole
Stableford event. And once again, only 5 shots separated the top 13 players, so the competition was hot hot hot!
