NEWS:
Ladies for a trial period only the ladies tee on the 14th hole will be moved across to the mens tee. This will give a straight line to the hole of about 120 metres.
I stress this is a trial period only.
I have requested from the Captain, that as the ladies will be using a 2 tee start, that it will be permissable when starting from the 10th tee to practice chipping in the vicinity of the social tees.
At Match & Greens meeting this afternoon the decision was made to prohibit chipping practice on or near the croquet green. All practice shots must be made in the area between the 1st hole and the 18th hole.
A 2 person Ambrose was played today.
The winners were: Wendy Burke & Toni Clarke (14) 71 3/4 - vouchers
Runners Up: Anne Geddes & Anne Vitou (16) 73 - balls
Balls also to : Annie Jones & Wendy Ruttan (17) 74 c/b

Pro Pin - Penny McKenna ($63) Well done Penny you must be excited with this win.
I travelled to Royal Canberra today to play in the Division 2 Open Day. I will leave my comments at that and trust that I play better in the Pennants on Friday.
Another beautiful day in the Highlands. The Ping Rep was out there trying to convince the members to trade their old clubs in and I am sure he will succeed with some of them.
The winner of todays event was Marcia Jackson with 34 points, Runner Up Leonie Carroll with 33. In fact close score right through the field.
On the catering side new menus will come into effect next week. I must say it looks interesting and I am eager to try it.
Nerws of our President Bernadette is that she is looking and feeling good today. Hopefully we will see her at the club soon.
Friday is the last pennant match for the Bronze Shield before we know who goes into the semi finals. Good luck to the Bowral Girls. Wear your PINK with Pride.
Pam Barker - Lady Captain.
