Our regular small group of ladies had a hit on Tuesday playing 9 holes off the front, and the winner was Sandra Lording with 18 points and runner-up Glenis Skinner with 16 points. No, you aren’t reading last week’s paper or hearing an echo…yes, same winner and runner-up as last week – well done girls – you both are clearly handling the conditions very well! Wednesday was another stableford round, and it was nice to see a threesome joining us from Benalla, taking the numbers to 22. Natalie Grishaw continues her great form and her handicap is nicely going south. She took the win overall and for A Grade, with 33 points, knocking off Nicki Cooper on a countback. Third in A grade was Linda Brook with 32. In B grade, Jackie Smithwick was the best with 30 points, from Pam Abbott 29 and Shirley Nolan 28. Line balls went to Marg Knapp, Lyn Poulson, Sam Bailey and Andrea Marsden, while nearest the pins went to Marion Foster, Jenni Sparnon and Nicki Cooper. Finally on Saturday, just 9 ladies ventured out – was that because the comp of the day was Par? Maybe! It didn’t deter Jackie Smithwick, however, who was continuing on in the winners circle, taking 1st place with +1, beating Shelly Comerford on a countback, while Shelly Lakin was third with -2. Shelly also picked up the nearest the pin on the 3rd. All the ladies would also like to extend their deepest sympathy to Pam Abbott on the passing of her husband Ron recently, after a long battle with illness over the last couple of years.
