The Ann Bawden Matchplay semi-finals were played last Monday week in perfect golf conditions.
Noeline Smith/Marianne Mannell were 1 up after a close 1st 9 holes being played against Janette Blair/Kathy McMullan, by the 12th hole the game was all square. The match see-sawed throughout and by the 18th there would be extra holes to play with Noeline and Marianne 1 up after 20 holes.
In the second semi-final Peg James/Jan Patterson were 3 up on Sue Petty/Jean Dahl after their first nine. Sue and Jean fought well but Peg and Jan took the match which ended on the 18th hole. Two great matches were played and congratulations to the winners.
The final was played on Monday June 1.
On Wednesday of last week there were 58 starters and some excellent scores were returned. Our 18-hole stroke monthly medal sponsored by Toast Espresso was won by Jean Milne with a score of 69 nett on a c/b from Millie Harris and Kerry Harding.
