Not all news is bad news - Bowral retained the Bowral/ Goulburn Shield with 5 1/2 points each. To take the shield you must have a clear win. Well done ladies.
Friday the CSGA Plate Pennant Teams played at Bowral ( BGC ladies had a bye)and at starting time 9.00am you could not see as far as the 150 metre marker on the 1st fairway.
The mountain mist was falling and they wondered what they had struck. The teams that travelled from Canberra had left a beautiful day behind to arrive here in fog.
Friday was also the first round of the CSGA Bronze Shield Pennant Division. The Bowral ladies travelled to Belconnen with the following results:
Anne Keys was defeated,Barbara Westwood was defeated, Leonie Carroll squared her match and the stars of the day were Wendy Pope & Faye Frith , both winning their matches. Congratulations to the TEAM. It is a big ask for you to leave home at 6.30 am to travel to Canberra.
Next Friday both teams will be competing - The Plate against Federal at Yowani, and The Shield against Royal Military College at Faribairn. Another early trip to Canberra.
St Patrick's Day - 17 March - was our Annual Invitation Day. The theme was "Think Green" . Various shades of green were seen around the course and in the club house including my team with Green Hair.
The winners took away lovely prizes of Guest towels embroidered with Green Shamrocks, Stainless Steel Water Bottle (No plastic contamination from them) and various other novelty prizes suitable for Our Irish Day.
The raffle of a Bottle of Dubliner Irish Whiskey Liquer was drawn by and won by Alex Dowlings guest, Liz Cavill from Manly Club. Liz kindly donated it back and Jill Scott was the subsequent winner. Jill tells us she will be taking it to Cowra when the ladies play there in June.
