DAILY COMPETITIONS
The course is looking pretty magnificent (thanks Matt and your team). Thank you also to The Green staff, Kevin Kenny, Dick Hiser and the number of volunteers who worked tirelessly in the heat last week to upgrade the bunkers. They too are magnificent!! We just LOVE bunkers!
There have been some terrific scores this week....
Saturday (16/1), Wendy Burke won the day with a score of 38pts. Lyn Solness was the R/U on 36pts.
Tuesday (18/1) was a 3Ball Aggregate Stableford. 38 players took part in this team event, and the winners were Suzanne Ayre, Chris Levy and Carol Warner with a score of 106. Hot on their heels were Team Neale, Mellen and Hayden with a score of 105. Ellen, Di and Julie have all been playing beautifully over the summer break.
Thursday (21/1) was the last of the SAC Race events. With a whopping score of 41pts, Sue Flaxman was Div 1 winner (on a Countback). Carol Warner was a worthy R/U also on 41pts.The Div 2 winner was Di Mellen - 39pts and R/U - Sharon Rowe with 36pts. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL!!
37 girls were highly competitive in this event - it's a little bit of fun over the summer break. Thanks everyone for making this such a happy event.
The WINNER will be announced next Thursday at our Opening Day.
I don't often play on Saturdays, but last Saturday I saw a gap, so popped my name down. One of my partners, Faye Frith, taught me some new words associated with a golf course. Did you know that on a Saturday, the Fairway is called the Freeway, and "Going to the Ball" means trying to find your ball - not a Cinderella moment!!!!
The scoring also seems to be a bit different, as Faye played really well and scored 31pts, but the computer said 44pts!! I think I might have to play again on a Saturday.
OUR VERY OWN CHAMP!
Michelle Di Natale has been tearing up the courses in ACT for the Jack Newton ACT Championships. Here are her scores...
Round 1: Federal GC 80 (+7)
Round 2: Yowani GC 80 (+6)
Round 3: Gold Creek GC 77 (+5)
Round 4: Queanbeyan GC 82 (+10)
Total of 319 (+28) to finish 2nd in the girls 13-15 and 4th in the girls championships.
CONGRATULATIONS MICHELLE!
There has been a wonderful response to next Tuesday's event - as of today, there are 82 players entered. Hopefully the weather will be kind to us so we can enjoy a good day of golf and camaraderie.
Don't forget to dress up in your favourite Australian colours - maybe think laterally!!
There will be some novelty events - NTP, Straightest Drive and Drive and Pitch - please use the hand sanitisers attached to the markers.
Please hand your scorecards to either Dick or myself at the end of your game.
