Sunshine and golf – almost nothing better!

THE week started with a win for the summer pennant team at Bright. Well done ladies. Everyone must have attended the Mansfield Cup as no ladies showed for golf on Tuesday. Wednesday’s field of 28 ladies bought in more great scores. None better than Gayle Wells who keeps bettering her handicap. Gayle won A Grade with a great 68 points from Kylie Egan on 71 on a countback to Donna Sedgman. Good to see Kerri Nicol in good form winning B Grade with 71 points from Jenny Foster 72 and Lyn Poulson 74. Line balls were Millie Cumming 73, Sheryl Sargent 75 and Sue Crow 75. Nearest the pins were Jenny Foster, Sam Bailey, Gayle Wells, Lorraine Cullen and Lyn Poulson. Saturday was the Glen Foursomes Mixed Pairs. 21 ladies teamed with their male counterparts and had a terrific day. Millie Cumming and her partner Shaun Wade blitzed the field with 65.5. Second were Jenny and John Koraus 72.5 and third Donna Sedgman and Mic Davis 73. The nearest the pins for the ladies were Robyn Baker, Lyn Poulson and Sheryl Sargent. This Wednesday is the last round of the Premier League before the finals are played by the top four teams. Stingers remain on top with 26 then Lassy’s on 20. It will be an interesting competition to decide third and fourth as the next four teams, Rippa’s, Fantastic Fore, Chocolate Box and Wanderers are all on 16 points and all playing each other. It will be nail-biting! Finally, Mansfield ladies are well known for travelling great distances to play golf. Well last week five of the ladies flew to New Zealand to play a competition on four courses in four days. Linda Terry had a terrific first day top scoring over both the men and women. It was sponsored by a winery so there were a few bottles of wine won and probably consumed over the four days. Good hitting for next week.
