Ladies Golf Report week ending 29th May 2022

Glenis Skinner Claims Bill Reardon Trophy

This week saw the final of the ladies Bill Reardon Memorial Championship being played between the semi-finalists, Glenis Skinner and Millie Cumming. This event is a highly sought after board event run in memory of long-term member of the club, Bill Reardon. The final is played over 27 holes and for those who know Millie, even in her slightly more senior years, she is still a tough competitor to beat!  But Glenis is in great form at the moment, as many will have noted how often her name has been mentioned in recent reports, and it was she who came out the victor after a hard fought 24 holes, winning 5/3.  Congratulations to both ladies for reaching the finals, and to Glenis for more great golf and getting her name up on the board!

Earlier in the week Tuesday’s nine hole stableford was won by….none other than Glenis Skinner with 18 points. Glenis must be in the market for a lot of new golf gear with how many points her golfing account is accumulating from winnings! Runner up was Kerri Nicol on a countback – well done to Kerri who is relatively new to golf. Good to see Robyn Baker back out there taking 3^rd with 16 points.

Wednesday was a stroke round played by a good field of 28 and the winner on the day and of B Grade was Jackie Smithwick with nett 73. A grade was claimed by Linda Brook with 74.  B Grade runner up was Marion Sargeant with 76 and 3^rd Lorraine Cullen 77, while A Grade runner up was Sheryl Sargent 78, on a countback to 3^rd place Andrea Marsden. Nearest the pins went to Shelly Comeford (3^rd), Marion Mitchell (10^th), Glenis Skinner (16^th) and Kylie Egan (18^th), while Millie Cumming won the putting.

Finally, on Saturday, it was the Ladies Monthly Medal, sponsored by Sanae’s. Sam Bailey appears to have been playing on a different course to the rest, as she was clear winner with a lovely nett 70, 8 shots clear of the next best, runner up,  Sue Crow with nett 78!  Third was Marion Sargeant with 77.  Well done Sam, you’ve been pipped many times before, but not this time! Chris Sullivan got the nearest the pin on the 16^th.

A contingent of girls also went to Strathbogie last week to play in their Bowl. It was threatening to be a complete washout but in fact the rain held off until the last couple of holes and the course was beautiful to play as always. No winners to report for Mansfield however, but everyone enjoyed the hospitality!  This week is the Tarrawingee Bowl which we are sending two teams to.
