JULY 18th

Saturday golfers were rugged up and prepared for rain as they teed off in Round 1 of the Ladies Short Course Championship. Fortunately, the winds eased and the sun came out later in the day, so the 46 starters stayed dry. There was an absolute birdie fest out there today: 2 of our ladies scored 2 birdies each in their rounds, Di Davis on the 10th and the 16th; Marguerite Miller chipped in twice for birdies on consecutive holes, the 16th from 20 metres out, and 17th; Jo Scott birdied the 10th, and Robyn Keegan the 4th. Well played ladies!

This event is sponsored by Mumms on the Myall, and is played over 2 weeks. It’s always a very popular round in the calendar with prize vouchers for delicious dining at Mumms for the winners.

However, the strong, blustery winds saw a much smaller field of 49 tee off, and conditions were tough out there for many players.

1st Di Lindstrom on 20; 2nd Catharine Berger 17; 3rd Ann Browning 15

Thursday Lady Vets

A modest field today, with 44 ladies teeing off on a crisp winter’s morning. Ann Browning was on fire, with a chip in on the 9th on her way to a clear win today. Other chip ins from Marcia Smith on the 1st and Robyn Keegan on the 14th. Deb Dummett birdied the 4th with a long putt where, with a par already guaranteed and nothing to lose, she just hit it straight in. Just like that! It pays not to overthink things sometimes.
