Agars claims Medal of Medals

A stroke competition for the women at the Blue Lake Golf Club was held in conjunction with the prestigious Medal of Medals sponsored by life member Patricia Fallas.

The winners of the last eight monthly medals during 2022 played off for the honour of seeing their name engraved on the perpetual trophy.

The winner was Sue Agars and she will be recognised at the presentation night next month.

The individual divisional winners for the stroke round saw Fiona Punton in Division One take the voucher for top spot with a resounding nett 68. Punton plays off a 26 handicap and with the daily scratch rating of 72 will expect to attract the notice of the handicapper and see a handicap reduction. In her 98 gross score, an outward score of 50 and a inward 44, there were pars on the 5th, 15th and 16th.

Following very closely was second placegetter Sue Agars 90/21/69 who will also see a reduction to her handicap before her next outing. With only a par on the par four 7th included in the 47 gross, the inward nine pars on the 12th, 14th and 15th was good enough for 43 strokes recorded on her card. 3rd placegetter was Helen Stratford 93/22/71 with pars on the 4th, 5th and 14th from splits of 46/47.

Division 2 winner Lucy Richards was hoping for a great day on the course after a birdie on the par four 1st hole and she was not disappointed. Richards played consistently scoring 107/69 off her 38 handicap with a outward 52 strokes and inward 55 including a par on the 16th. Jaynee Oberer 110/34/76 took the second prize voucher also having consistent scores of 57/53. A par was recorded on the dog leg par four 15th.

Nearest to the pin 2nd shot winners on the par three 14th were Carol Megaw (Div 1) and Jaynee Oberer (Div 2). The pro shot winner was Helen Myers.

Birdie prizes awarded to Richards on the 1st and Myers on 5th and ferret prizes to Lee Anderson 1st, Lyn Gill 8th, Karen Panagopoulos 9th, Myers 3rd and 17th.

This week will see the quarter finals for the 2022 Open Club Championships and for those not involved there will be a 18 hole stableford.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1 RESULTS

Eleven women teed off in glorious sunshine for a par competition and Annette Ford came away with the chocolates square to her card. Ford was equal to her handicap of 23 on the turn after pars on the 1st and 4th holes along with four wipes but made up ground with a run of pars on the 11th, 14th, 15th and 16th on the inward nine finishing square. Playing off 20 Perryman went out in style with plusses on the 1st, 2nd, 6th and 8th to turn 1-up. Unfortunately with 4 wipes along with 2 plusses she finished 1- down. Lee Anderson rounded out the podium 2-down, although she had to survive a four way countback from Fiona Punton, Beryl Mahoney and Cherryl Hill.
