Ashby comes up trumps

A rescheduled Monthly Medal due to inclement weather at the end of last month was played in much better conditions last week with only a bit of fog to contend with before the sun added warmth to the day.

At the Blue Lake Golf Club 24 women contested the Judy Collins sponsored Medal Round and it was Josie Ashby taking the honours.

Once again the daily difficulty rating was +3 even though there was run on the fairways the course was setup to maximum length indicative of the high scoring with pars hard to come by.

The stroke competition also coincided with the 1st round of the Scotty’s Loader Services Mt Gambier President’s Trophy with Ashby also taking the top spot in Division One signing for 96/20/76.

With splits of 47/48 a par was recorded on the 2nd hole to be all square to her handicap on the front nine striking a bit of difficulty going five strokes over her handicap on the back nine.

Runner up Jaynee Oberer followed carding 105/27/78 with splits of 50/55 that included a par on the 5th hole also square on the front nine going seven over on the back nine.

Third was Geraldine Scott 105/26/79 after a countback with Dianne Perryman 101/22/79.

Scott had a par on the 5th in her splits of 54/51.
