THE ladies usually don’t let the weather get in the way of our golf game but this week it did present a few challenges.

Tuesday no-one turned up to play so on to Wednesday where it was the final of the Premier League.

After a few cancellations due to the forecast weather, we still had a good field of 24 ladies playing, eight of whom had to turn up to play in the final.

Fortunately, there were plenty of holes where the rain did not fall.

Congratulations to the Lassy’s who defeated the Wanderers by six points.

The Lassy’s team was Sue Parsons, Shirley Nolan, Lorraine Wilson and Linda Brook.

The Wanderers team was Millie Cumming, Linda Terry, Louise Calvert-Jones and Jackie Smithwick.

Well played to all.

We still had enough numbers for two grades for the usual competition.

A Grade was won by Linda Brook with 35 points on a countback to Kirsten Scudamore with Andrea Marsden third with 35 points.

B Grade was won by Anne Blampied 34 points, second Pauline Ahola 31 points and third Jacki Smithwick 30 points.

Line balls to Kylie Egan 34, Sue Crow 31, Shelly Comerford 30, Sue Parsons 30 and Linda Terry 29. Nearest the pins Jacki Smithwick, Kylie Egan, Andrea Marsden and Shirley Nolan.

President’s Day on Saturday was wisely cancelled due to the rain, rescheduled for next Saturday.

The summer pennant final was played at Myrtleford on Friday between Jubilee and Mansfield.

Jubilee won after a very close challenge by our Mansfield ladies – Linda Brook, Marg Franke-Williams, Kirsten Scudamore, Shirley Nolan, Lyn Poulson and Lesley Anderson.

Well done to these ladies and to all the other ladies that represented Mansfield during the season.

Finally, Mansfield’s own Linda Terry stepped down after three years from the position of Women’s Golf Coordinator for the North East District Golf Association.

To quote the NEDGA “She did a sterling job totally devoted to the betterment of women’s golf operations in the North East."

"She achieved so much and was well respected by her peers."

We will miss her dedication, professionalism and her attention to detail.

We can all attest to that.

Well done Linda.

Good hitting.
