Ladies Golf Report week ending 13th Oct 2024

Championships Too Close to Call

Another full week of golf with ladies playing at Peninsula Kingswood, Marysville and Tarrawingee.  Sharon Gysberts and Gayle Wells bought in results with both coming runners up in their respective grades at Tarrawingee.

Wendy Hunt won the home Tuesday competition with a great 18 points and Kylie Egan next on a countback with 15.  Lorraine Cullen had a nearest the pin on the 16^th.

Wednesday was the second round of the Club Championships.  As the situation stands Linda Brook and Gayle Wells are tied on gross 184 for A Grade and the Club Champion.  They are 6 points ahead of 3^rd and 4^th.  Robyn Baker leads B Grade with gross 198 from Millie Cumming 199.  3^rd and 4^th are 4 points behind.  C Grade is led by Jenny Foster on gross 206 with Marion Sargeant 2^nd on 215.  D Grade leader is Sharon Gysberts on gross 240 from Susan Kinloch with 253.

To quote our captain Sheryl Sargent “A and B grade scores are very close so it’s anybody’s to win.  C and D grades have a clear front runner but as we all know anything can happen in golf”.

With the large numbers playing we were again able to have 2 grades for the daily competition.  Linda Brook had a terrific round winning A Grade with net 71 from Kylie Egan 75 and Kirsten Scudamore 77.  B Grade winner was Millie Cumming on net 74 from Marion Sargeant 75 and Louise Calvert-Jones 77.  Line balls were close, won by Nicki Cooper 77, Linda Terry and Sharon Gysberts 78 and Kerri Nicol, Glenis Skinner and Shirley Nolan all on 79.  Nearest the pins were Kylie Egan, Sheryl Sargent, Sue Crow, Anne Blampied and Sheryl Sargent.  Putting was won by Robyn Baker and Nicki Cooper both with 30 putts.

Saturday’s Stableford competition again produced some terrific scores.  Anne Blampied would have been very pleased with her win on 38 points, then Shirley Nolan 37 and Louise Calvert-Jones 35.  Line ball was Jenny Koraus and nearest the pins Kylie Egan on 7^th and Shirley Nolan on 16^th.

Wednesday should be an exciting finish to the Championships.  Celebrations will be that night at the Club with everyone dressing as something beginning with the letter F.  Mmmm?!

Good luck to everyone and good hitting.
