Tuesday 13th - The Donkin Cup Round 1
Great to see you all out on the course. We had 31 players in this 1st round.
Div. 1
1st Place. Virginia Wozniak with the perfect score of 36.
2nd Place. Sophie Rankine with 34 points winning on a Count Back. Sophie also had a Birdie on the 12th.
Div 2
1st Place. Susan Flaxman also with the perfect score of 36.
2nd Place. Rosemary Pettiford with 34 points on count back.
Round 2 is set to be played on the 22nd August.
Thursday 15th. Most of us woke up Thursday morning, looked out the window and said "another duck day" then cancelled our names off the time sheet.
Who were these incredible people you ask!
Group 1: Julia Skamperle, Cathy Shugg and Sally-Anne Ferguson.
Group 2: Emma Perham and Sophie Rankine.
It was however Sophie's day! I am told she played her best game ever and I think Sophie even surprised herself!
1st Place. Sophie Rankine with an amazing score of 43. To get a score like this Sophie had a Birdie on the 15th Hole, 11 pars and only 6 bogeys! As a special reward for such a great game Sophie had her handicap drop from 12 down to 10!!!
2nd Place. Emma Perham. Emma came in with a very nice score of 32.
3rd Place. Julia Skamperle. Julia also came in with a very respectable score of 29! This included Birdies on the 12th and 15th Holes.
Well done to the 5 of you!
I am sure the conditions would have disadvantaged most of us, but it obviously wasn't so for these keen golfing girls!!!
We sent 5 of our finest off to Murrumbidgee Country Club to represent us at the CSGA Opening Day.
Results
Suzanne Ayre came in 3rd in Division 1 and was runner up in the Diabetes Cup.
Pam Barker came in 3rd in Division 2.
Congratulations to you both.
Jane Clifford, Barb Clayton and Helen Egan played well but didn't manage to get a place this year.
Thank you all for travelling to Canberra to represent Bowral!
Unfortunately, we were not able to get the numbers to field a Plate Team this year. I know this was disappointing for a couple of people but hopefully next year will be different.
The Bronze Team has been able to get all the players they need with a few reserves. Sally-Anne Ferguson and Emma Perham have put their hands up to co-captain the team. This should work well and ensure we have a captain at every game!
The first match is on March 1st @ Bowral. The Women's Committee will be organising the morning tea and of course will appreciate help from you. We will need a mix a Savoury and sweet as all the other teams will be travelling from Canberra and Braidwood and some may be looking for breakfast!
Well, I have finally caught up on all the results! Phew!
