Ladies Golf Report week ending 12th May 2024

Variations of the Golf Game

There are many forms of the popular Stableford golf game.  This week provided us with some interesting competitions at home.

Tuesday was the usual Stableford.  Whilst only a small field Lorraine Cullen had a strong win with 20 points from Kylie Egan on 15.

Wednesday was another round of Stableford however this time was played off the gold tees.  This means a real reduction in everyone’s handicap for the shorter course.  It didn’t suit everyone but in terrific form, Lorraine Cullen had another win with 46 points.  This gave her the win for A Grade from Robyn Baker 37 and Lyn Poulson on a countback 35.  Another one in terrific form is Wendy Hunt who took the B Grade win with 39 points from Susan Kinloch 36 on a countback from Meg Broomfield.  Line balls were Sheryl Sargent 35 and Glenis Skinner 34.  Nearest the pins Robyn Baker, Sam Bailey, Marion Foster, Jenny Koraus and Linda Brook.

On Thursday 8 ladies travelled to Myrtleford for their Bowl.  Another strong field of over 100 ladies meant you had to score well over 36 points for a chance to win the Bowl.  Whilst no Mansfield win Sue Crow, Marg Franke-Williams and Patsy Smiles all won line balls.

Saturdays Mixed 4 Ball was well supported by 20 ladies and partners.  The win went to Tracy and Geoff Gravenall with a terrific 54 points.  Second was Jenny and John Koraus 47 and third Millie and Hayden Cumming 44.  Nearest the pins Gayle Wells, Marion Sargeant and Millie Cumming.
