The finalists for this event Ellen Neale & Carole Byrnes versus Sue Flaxman & Jane Clifford enjoyed a very close match. Always a good sign when the match goes to the 18th hole with Sue and Jane winning 2 up. The day was very cold but luckily stayed dry. Thanks to Noela McMurray for being the referee for the match. A couple of times we had to check it was really Noela under all those rugs.
A very frosty morning greeted the 23 players for this single stroke event - see the photo below.

Colin Stamm Salver (Tuesday 18 June)
This annual interclub event has been held since 1984. The trophy was donated by local pharmacist Colin Stamm in order to generate an ongoing "spirit of friendship" between clubs in the Highlands.
Last year the event was washed out so we were a little nervous this year. While it was a bit wet it was not enough to dampen the competitive spirit.
Thankyou to the 12 players that represented Bowral Golf Club - Carol Warner, Pam Barker, Leonie Carroll, Robyn McGinnes, Rosemary Downing, Noela McMurray, Chris Hill, Jane Clifford, Sharon Rowe, Sue Flaxman, Chris Levy and Barb Mead.
Six of our players played single match play games at Bowral, while three travelled to Highlands and three to Moss Vale.
Moss Vale were the overall winners with 17 points from Highlands on 11 and Bowral on 8 points.
The majority of players gathered at Bowral for lunch and a good time seemed to be had by all. Thanks to Regina the kitchen was open and we received many compliments on the catering.
Here is Moss Vale Captain Sue Shallis receiving the trophy on behalf of her successful team.
