Ladies Golf Report week ending 5th Jan 2025

Ladies Golf Returns Swinging for 2025

Despite the holiday season and hot weather, the ladies wasted no time in finishing off 2024 and hitting off for 2025.

On Saturday after Christmas 15 ladies including two visitors played Stableford.  They finished off the year with some great scores.  Shelley Larkin has certainly decided that golf is her game as she won the day with a fantastic 42 points.  Sam Bailey was only just behind with normally a winning score of 41 and Julie Roberts 40.  Line balls were Lyn Poulson 38 and Millie Cumming 36.  Nearest the pins were Kerri Nicol, Sam Bailey and Sandy Davison a visitor from Calliope in North Qld.  She must have heard about our great course and Club.

New Years Eve’s 9 hole competition was again taken out by Shelley Larkin with another great score of 24 points from Linda Brook 18 and Shirley Nolan 16.  Nearest the pins were Shirley Nolan and Linda Brook.

The new year celebrations did not affect the 24 ladies who played the first Wednesday competition for the year.  A Grade was won by in form player Sam Bailey 37 on a countback from Nicki Cooper and then Shelley Comerford 36.   Kerri Nicol showed her good form again winning B Grade with a terrific 39 points from Shirley Nolan 31 and Julie Roberts 30.  Line balls to Robyn Baker and Linda Brook both with 33.  Nearest the pins were Sam Bailey, Sandy Davison with 2 NTP’s, Natalie Grimshaw and Robyn Baker.

Saturday’s hot weather did not deter the 16 ladies playing another round of Stableford.  Shirley Nolan took the win with 37 points on a countback from Anne Blampied and Shelley Larkin.  Line balls to Marion Mitchell 36, Lyn Poulson 35 and Marion Foster 34.  Nearest the pins went to Linda Brook with 2 NTP’s, Gayle Wells and Sam Bailey.

Shelley Larkin deserves special mention as she has reduced her handicap from 42 to 30 in the matter of a week.  Well done Shelley.

Next Wednesday’s competition will be Stableford off the white tees.

Good hitting for 2025.
