The horrific weather that we endured for so many weeks is now a distant memory with clear blue skies and windless days being the norm over the past few rounds.
Conditions were perfect for last Friday’s Single Stableford event and, as a result, there were 50 keen ladies who took to the course. The overall results were an indication that the course is becoming more receptive to good scoring.
Results
Div 1: Helen Collins (37pts) and Lee Daley (37pts c/b) were difficult to separate. Both ladies had a consistent 19 and 18 points on their front and back nine holes.
Div 2: Carrie Aitken (35pts) who has had three pleasing rounds over the past week and Jen O’Neill (31pts c/b) was the next best as r/up.
Div 3: Angela Walpole (35pts) won ahead of Joan Berry (34pts c/b).
Our NTP winners: Flots and Jets 3rd – Robyn Brockwell; Valley Finance 3rd (2nd) – Sandra Russo; Peter Campbell Physio 9th (2nd) – Jennifer Fagan; Kitchen to Table 10th – Julie Vernol; Amie Rose Beauty 12th – Lee Daley; Nicholson’s Fine Foods 17th – Sue Scott and Yamba Pharmacy 17th (2nd) – Angela Walpole.
Balls were awarded to 31pts c/b.
It was a chilly start for the nine ladies who played in last Saturday’s competition. Tiffany Lee was in fine form (34pts), winning ahead of Gwynne Thomas who scored 32pts. Julie Campbell won the NTP.
