Golf’s comings, goings and challenges

DESPITE the impression of some, golf does not always dominate the weeks of our members. Some return from holidays, others leave for holidays, and others have big commitments in our local community. This week saw the return of ladies from the beach and snow skiing, while others left for snow skiing and caravanning, and another had organising on her mind. Firstly, Tuesday’s Stableford was won by Patsy Smiles with a lovely 19 points. Susan Kinloch followed with 17 points on a countback from Tracey Gravenall. Tracey also had the nearest the pin. Another Stableford competition was held on Wednesday. Linda Terry did not let her organising with the Tolmie Sports get in the way of winning A Grade with a great 37 points. Sheryl Sargent was second with 36, and Sue Crow third on a countback with 35. Marg Franke-Williams did not let jet lag stop her. After returning from winning medals in snow skiing competitions in Austria, she produced a terrific 38 points to win B Grade. Sandra Lording followed with 31 points, and Glenis Skinner with 30. Line balls went to Kylie Egan with 36, Shirley Nolan with 35, and Millie Cumming with 34 on a countback to Linda Brook. Nearest the pins went to Linda Brook (twice), Kylie Egan with her weekly NTP, Marg Franke-Williams, Shirley Nolan, and Kirsten Scudamore. Saturday saw a smaller field of 11 ladies for a Par competition. Perhaps most had gone to the Tolmie Sports. Marion Foster played a great game, winning with +3. Recently returned Louise Calvert-Jones followed with +1, and Kerri Nicol with -1. Nearest the pins were Linda Brook and Shelly Comerford. Safe travels to all and good hitting.
