Ladies fly the flag

IN true autumn fashion, the week just gone provided quite a lot of opportunities for the ladies to travel around and represent our club throughout the district, and the results were outstanding.

Our Div 2 and Div 3 teams both had close 3/2 losses against Commercial Albury and Yarrawonga respectively.

Next week sees the Div 1 and 2 teams heading to Thurgoona and Yarrawonga while Mansfield Div 3 hosts and has a bye at home.

A good contingent as always attended the Marysville Bowl on Thursday and we were well represented among the prize winners again.

Winner of A Grade was Sue Crow, runner up in B Grade was Lyn Poulson and third in C Grade was Katie Pilbrow with a wonderful score of 34 points in her first ever Bowl – not bad for someone who has only been playing golf for four months.

Back at home, seven ladies squeezed in nine holes on Tuesday and the win went to new member Chris Sullivan with 16 points – welcome Chris.

Kerri Nicol was runner up with 15.

On Wednesday, six girls were off on their own jaunt to Cape Schanck and The Dunes, leaving 22 players in the Summer Cup stableford round.

It was fantastic to see another lady who hasn't been playing golf for too long, Robyn Bridgewater, taking the win with 37 points on a countback in the overall standings, from someone on the other end of the golfing scale with many years of experience, Millie Cum...
