• Ladies Golf Report week ending 3rd Mar 24

  • Pam Abbott the 9-hole Specialist

    Golfing numbers are looking great lately as everyone is back into their routines after the holidays. There is also the incentive of working on our game and maybe improving our handicaps, with the course being in such good shape – and that is good timing, as we head towards our pennant season, which starts this week.

    On Tuesday, the ladies played their regular 9 holes off the back and it seems Pam Abbott has a vice like grip on the prize money in the 9-hole format with yet another win this week scoring 18 points. Joanne Cave was unlucky however, to be only runner up on a countback, while Jenny Koraus was third with 17. Pam continued the same form to also win the 9-hole George Walker on Thursday with 18 points again – Well done Pam – must be time you came along on a Wednesday to show us your style over 18 holes as this is the 4th week in a row you’ve been in the money for 9 holes!

    Wednesday golf was our Monthly Medal, sponsored by long-term supporter of our women’s golf, Sanea’s Collections. We are always so grateful to the local businesses who continue to sponsor our monthly medals. The winner this month who will be off to find herself a new fashion item from Sanae, was Andrea Marsden with nett 70, just pipping Kylie Egan 71 and Sheryl Sargent 72 with the these 3 filling the A Grade places. In B Grade the winner was Shirley Nolan 73, on a countback to Glenis Skinner and third was Lyn Poulson 74.  Nearest the pins went to Kylie Egan, Linda Terry, Margie Franke-Williams and Nicki Cooper while Sheryl Sargent had a great day with the putter to win that prize.

    On Thursday quite a few of our ladies headed over to Jubilee on what can only be described as a blistering hot day to play in their annual Bowl. It was Lyn Poulson’s turn to shine with an equally blistering score of 39 points to take out the B Grade comp. Meanwhile we also had a team playing in the Hidden Valley Bowl and Sue Crow also took the win in B Grade there. Well done to our travelling ladies who fly the flag for Mansfield.

    Finally, to wrap up the week, there was a novelty team event played with the men on Saturday. Called the Pink Ball event, mixed teams of 3 or 4, play their usual stableford, but each team member takes turns at playing a hole with a single pink ball they are issued. The pink ball score is recorded separately with double points each hole. If a player loses the pink ball it is all over red rover for their team – which happened to two teams!  Winners of the 3-person pink ball team were the Sargent family of Sheryl and sons Aaron and Justin with 74 points, while the winning 4-person team was the combination of Tim Reilly, Steve Chisolm, Kane Blunt and Lyn Poulson. A fun end to the week.

    Next week the ladies start their pennant season with Div 2 off to Yarrawonga, Div 4 to Jubilee, and Div 3 are hosting at home. Good luck girls!
