Maiden monthly medal win for Kirsten Scudamore

IT can sometimes be a bit hard trying to keep up with all the golf the ladies are playing. The Summer Pennant competition started on Monday. This pennant is a friendly competition between Mansfield, Bright, Myrtleford and Jubilee. We went down to Jubilee at Jubilee and then had a forfeit from Bright on Friday. On Tuesday we saw success from a couple of our new lady golfers with Ruth Martin having a great 19 points on a countback from in-form Sharon Gysberts. Andrea Marsden third with 17 and a line ball to Lorraine Wilson, the last of our travellers back from the north. Diana De Jager, another new golfer had a nearest the pin on 16th. Wednesday was the Medal of Medals and the Monthly Medal sponsored by Sanae’s Collection. Sharon Gysberts and Andrea Marsden had a draw for the Medal of Medals so will be in a play-off next Wednesday. Kirsten Scudamore won her first and hopefully not last Monthly Medal. It was a large field of 33 ladies so we had two grades. Kirsten won A Grade with a terrific 69 nett from Andrea Marsden 71 on a countback to Sue Parsons. Sharon Gysberts won B Grade with 71 from Patsy Smiles 73 on a countback from Marion Sargeant. Lines balls to Kylie Egan 73, Sam Bailey 73, Sheryl Sargent 75 and Linda Brook 75. Nearest the pins were Tracey Gravenall, Linda Brook, Donna Sedgman and Sue Parsons. The putting was won by Sheryl Sargent and Sue Crow. Of special note was Kylie Egan’s Eagle on 10th. On Thursday Marg Franke-Williams and Sue Parsons played in the final of the Doris Chambers State final at Eastern Golf Club. They were very happy to come runners-up in a tough competition. The same day Sue Crow, Marg Knapp, Susan Kinloch and Patsy Smiles came runners-up in the Wodonga Bowl with Susan Kinloch runner-up in D Grade and was in the winning small teams event. Another great representation from the Mansfield ladies. Sue Parsons is in good form preparing for her golfing trip to New Zealand winning Saturday’s Stableford with 34 points from Sheryl Sargent 33 on a countback to Marion Sargeant. Line ball to Sam Bailey 31 and Sue Parsons nearest the pin on third. With only three rounds to go in the Premier League, the Stingers are on top of the ladder with 20 points from TAGM and Wanderers both on 14. Well done to the ladies producing some great scores. Good hitting for next week.
