Ladies Golf Report week ending 6th Apr 2025

Ladies Open Day a Great Success

The Veterans competition at Benalla kicked off another full week of golf.  Jackie
Smithwick did Mansfield proud by winning B Grade with a fantastic 42 points.  Colleen Leeds also represented Mansfield well by coming 6^th overall and 4^th in B Grade with 37 points.  Well done Colleen.  Playing well.

Tuesdays Stableford was won by Kylie Egan with 22 points and the nearest the pin.  Kylie is a regular in the winners circle.  Again, well done Kylie.  Sandra Lording was second with a lovely 21 points and Lorraine Wilson third with 16.

Wednesday was the ladies Open Day.  An amazing 48 ladies played a 3 Person Ambrose.  That included 15 ladies who were relatively new to golf or totally new.  It was fantastic to see so many ladies keen to join our wonderful Club of lady golfers.  A big thank you to Captain Sheryl Sargent and Vice-Captain Linda Brook for organising such a great day.

The winning team was Anne Blampied, Sophie Yencken and Rachael Devere. Second Natalie Grimshaw, Michelle Mcguire and Susan Kinloch, third Kylie Egan, Colleen Leeds and Cathy Lewis and fourth Elizabeth Morrissey, Patsy Smiles and Nikki Coffey.  Sue Crow had two nearest the pins with one each to Cathy Lewis, Anne Blampied and Marion Mitchell.

After the game, a lunch was enjoyed in the Ranges restaurant and the Summer Block winners announced.  I will not even try to explain the intricacies of the various categories.  I’m not sure how Linda Brook manages it!  Suffice to say that major winners were Sam Bailey, Sheryl Sargent, Gayle Wells, Marg Franke-Williams, Linda Brook, Lorraine Cullen, Shirley Nolan and Tracey Gravenall.

Friday was the last of the pennant matches before the finals.  Division 1 had a draw with Albury but needed to win to be in the finals.  Division 3 lost to Myrtleford but will still play in the finals and Division 4 beat Wodonga but that wasn’t enough to be in the finals.  Well done to all the ladies who played pennant this year.   It is a big commitment with many kilometres to travel to the various matches.

Saturday was the K. J. Evans Foursomes over 27 holes.  There was also an 18 hole competition.  Our hard working Captain and Vice Captain won the day.  Sheryl Sargent and Linda Brook scored 136, clear winners from Natalie Grimshaw and Millie Cumming 141 and Shelley Lakin and Sam Bailey 145.  Lyn Poulson and Glenis Skinner won the 18 hole competition with 38 points.

Good luck to Division 3 in the pennant finals and good hitting to everyone.
