It was a steamy Saturday morning for the 11 ladies who played the Single Stableford event, and the mosquitos were en masse after the previous night’s rainfall.
The conditions didn’t deter Mary Hogan who has been playing consistently well and she scored a very impressive 41pts to win. The runner up was newcomer to golf, Jo Rice, who played very well, scoring 34pts. It has been lovely to see Jo and Prue McLaughlin, both 9 holers in 2023, join us on Saturday mornings this year. Gillian Holst won the NTP on the 12th which is kindly sponsored by the SeaFire Restaurant.
