BEFORE the ladies had their Christmas celebrations on Wednesday, the fine weather bought back the ladies to the Tuesday Stableford competition. Kerri Nicol won with 18 points, second Marion Mitchell 17 and third Susan Kinloch 16. Wednesday’s Christmas fun day was two person Ambrose. We had a large field of 36 ladies all dressed in their Christmas outfits. It was great to see some of our newer golfers playing and to see them appear in the prize winning list. During play, Lyn Holland appeared in the golf cart with some complimentary bubbles. This may have helped some and maybe not some others. Nicki Cooper and Sophie Yencken won the day with 55.75 points. Sophie you should play more regularly! Only decimal points separated the three placings. Linda Terry and Colleen Leeds 57, Gayle Wells and newish player Shelley Lakin 57.25 and Sam Bailey and Benalla golfer Julie Roberts 57.75. Nearest the pins were Angel (aka Linda Terry) on third, Shelley Lakin seventh, Sue Parsons and Lisa Dingle 12th, Sophie Yencken 16th and Sheryl Sargent and Jan Bedford 18th. It was lovely to have past player Dawn Breadon join us afterwards for a delicious Christmas lunch in The Ranges restaurant. The Premier League, Player of the Premier League and Winter Block winners were then announced. The Premier League winners as previously reported were the Lassy’s team of Sue Parsons, Linda Brook, Lorraine Wilson and Shirley Nolan. The Players of the Mansfield Women’s Premier League was a tie between Sue Crow and Sharon Gysberts. Both well deserved. The Winter Block is a competition played between April and October with various winning categories. The winners this year were Veterans - Linda Terry, Aggregate - Kylie Egan, Aggregate Putting – Gayle Wells, 3’s and under – Sheryl Sargeant, Nett 3’s – Gayle Wells, Gobblers – Millie Cumming and Eclectic (Handicap and Scratch) – Sam Bailey. The week finished off with a good field of 19 ladies playing Saturday’s Stableford. Andrea Marsden had a fantastic 40 points to win on a countback to our newish player Shelley Lakin. Great scores and well done to Gayle Wells for coaching Shelley to almost a win. Kerri Nichol was third with a not too shabby 37 points. Line balls to Millie Cumming, Linda Brook and Lesley Anderson all on 36 points. Nearest the pins to Gayle Wells on third and Andrea Marsden on 16th. Finally, a big thank you to Captain Sheryl Sargent and Vice-Captain Linda Brook for all the organisation and behind the scenes work they put in to provide the ladies with an enjoyable year of golf. Next Wednesday is Monthly Medal sponsored by All Things Natural and Organic and Saturday is the Captain’s Fun Day with a four Person Gentsomes. Good hitting.
