WELCOME TO THE HIGHLANDS!
16 brave ladies faced the very windy conditions and played a 10 Hole - No Handicapped Event.
The Winner with a H'cap of 43 and a great 20 points was MARION TYREE.
(2 Balls). Runner Up with a h'cap of 10 with 18 points was Mardi Svensson.
Balls also to Uschi Eriksson with 16 points and Jenny Beer also with 16 points.
Well done, girls.
BUT FOR SHEER BRAVERY (perhaps, a touch of lunacy!) the award today goes to Pamela Barker and Jane Clifford for playing their Match Round today. They persevered until the 18th Hole where Pam became the winner with 1 up. She gave 13 points to Jane who played well all the way around until she shot not 1, but 2 balls into the creek on the 18th - otherwise they may have had to continue on!
Whilst celebrating their round with a few friends, the Club had a Blackout due to a fallen tree somewhere close. That was the end of that for a while.!
NOTES:
The Royal Canberra Golf Club will not be holding their OPEN Day on 21st August, this year due to major Course Renovations commencing mid-July- over the next 3 years. - ( You may like to note this in your Fixtures Book.)
However, their Challenge Bowl will still be on Thursday, 7th August. Our Match
Committee are in the process of choosing a suitable team for that.
**This THURSDAY, 26TH JUNE -With 43 Players currently hitting off the 1ST TEE, I requested ladies to perhaps consider going around to the 10th Tee with the group you are playing with. I have had some indications some people are willing to do this. - I THANK THEM FOR THEIR CO-OPERATION as the Presentations will take place a little earlier if both Tees are used. I am sure everyone who can will make an effort to stay and celebrate Bernadette's First Anniversary with Kevin (husband) and all her friends.
OXLEY PLATE: At the Match & Greens Committee last Friday, I was requested to give this event a plug. We need 1 - 2 pairs to make up the 20 players required.
(Male and Female Team). Please see the Pro Shop for details or put your name on the Sheet there. Thank You. SUNDAY, 6TH JULY, 2014 AT MOSS VALE.
I do hope the windy conditions have settled down by Thursday. I look forward to seeing everyone playing well!
Regards,
Helen C.
