Ladies Golf Report week ending 6th October 2024

Gayle Wells A Stand Out

Mansfield Golf Club has a fantastic group of enthusiastic lady golfers.  Round one of the Championships started on Wednesday but before that we had 7 ladies play at Heritage and others travelled to Euroa to play in their Bowl.  Shirley Nolan and Sam Bailey were runners up in A and B Grades respectively and Shirley won the veterans.

Tuesday was a breather for most but regular Tuesday player, Jenny Koraus, won the Stableford with a terrific 21 points from Wendy Hunt 14.  Jenny also had the nearest the pin on 3^rd.  Good to see new golfer Lisa Dingle playing.

We had 36 ladies playing in the first round of the Championships on Wednesday.  The writer believes this may be a record number.

Gayle Wells didn’t let anything stand in her way winning the day and A Grade with a very impressive net 67.  Helped by only having 25 putts, she also won the putting competition.  Well done Gayle, a great result.

Sheryl Sargent also had a good day coming second with 70 and Sue Crow third with 72.  Jenny Foster won B Grade with 73 on a countback to Patsy Smiles with Shelly Comerford third on 74.  Scores were close for line balls with Louise Calvert-Jones, Sam Bailey and Glenis Skinner all on 74, Sue Parsons and Marg Franke-Williams on 75 and Linda Terry 76.  Nearest the pins were Anne Blampied, Sheryl Sargent, Sue Crow, Sam Bailey, Gayle Wells and Andrea Marsden.

Saturday’s Stableford was won by Sue Parsons with 36 points on a countback to Sam Bailey and Sue Crow 33.  Line ball to Susan Kinloch 33 and Sam Bailey and Kerri Nicol nearest the pins on 3^rd and 16^th respectively.

The winning teams for the Premier League were Stringers, Fantastic Fore, Rippa’s and a tie between Wanderers and TAGM.  The current ladder is Stringers first with 3 wins and TAGM and Rippa’s 2^nd and 3^rd with 2 wins.

There have been a number of players bringing in some very good scores over the past few weeks so we may see some close contests in the next two weeks of the Championships.

Good Hitting everyone.
