THERE was another good turnout of the Gloucester Golf Ladies for the first Women’s Golf NSW Medal for 2025 on Wednesday 26 March; won in fine style by Evelyn Blanch in Division 1 and Gai Falla in Division 2.

The course was still wet from rain over the last few days, with the heavy conditions reflected in the scores. Indeed, a few of players admitted that they did not realise it was a stroke event and might have stayed home if they had known.

Evelyn Blanch seemed less concerned with the conditions, winning Division 1 with 76, while Gai Falla continued her winning form to take out Division 2 with 81. They won a bag of goodies each, donated by Karen Howarth and Sally Higgins, the sponsors of the day’s event. Dale Rabbett read the greens well and won the putting prize with a mere 27 putts over the 18 holes.

Balls were won by Carolyn Davies, 79, Dale Rabbett, 80, and Karen Howarth, 82. The Nearest-to-the-Pin prizes were won by magical Myrelle Fraser on the 4th and 13th holes, and by Carolyn Davies on the 6th and 15th holes.

On Wednesday 2 April, the Gloucester Golf Ladies will play an Individual Stableford and the following Wednesday a Monthly Medal in the form of an Individual Stableford is scheduled.
