SATURDAY’S game was the October Monthly Medal round for the ladies, with 33 entrants including Anne Kessell, visiting us from the Forster Tuncurry Golf Club.

The strong winds presented the field with some extra challenges today, though there were some excellent scores carded. Ahead of the pack was the very consistent Robyn Keegan, followed closely by Renea Kerr who had a great round, and Margeurite Miller.

Thursday Lady Veterans

There were 42 players today who set off in calm conditions, but a gusty southerly made for some challenging shots on the more exposed holes later in the morning. Perhaps that’s why no chip ins or birdies were recorded today, and a few of our players had significant scores for all the wrong reasons if their stories were to be believed! But everyone remained cheerful as they enjoyed morning tea in the Green Room afterwards.

1st Rosarie Mullins with -7; 2nd Dawn Gough -3; 3rd Judy Benson 1; 4th Pat Dodd 4; 5th Robyn Keegan 5
