Bec Pascoe dominates stroke competition

It was the Bev Pascoe show last Wednesday when the March monthly medal was played at the Blue Lake Golf Club with Pascoe winning quite a few prizes including the Monthly Medal spondored by Grant and Dianne Perryman.

The stroke competition coincided with the 3rd and final qualifying round of the Belgiorno Cafe Handicap Championships and the 2nd round if the Captain’s Trophy sponsored by Collin’s Court Butcher.

The course was set up long and was indicative of most playing over their handicaps.

In Division 1 the best score came from Rosemary Martland 89/14/75, splits of 44/45 that included a birdie on the 5th from a chip-in as well as pars on the 16th and 17th holes, also winning the putting competition with 29 putts. Helen Myers and Dianne Perryman followed both carding 96/19/77 forcing a countback, the former taking the second place voucher having the better back- nine score. Myers had splits of 52/44 including pars on the 15th and 17th. Perryman splits of 49/47 and a par on the 5th. Josie Ashby was the nearest to the pin 2nd shot winner.

Pascoe added to her medal win taking the top voucher for Division 2 signing for 106/31/75, splits of 54/52 with pars on the 5th and 16th. She had a day on the fairways also winning the pro-shot on the 5th, nearest to the pin on the 2nd hole and the putting competition with 30 putts. Carol Meluish 2nd on the podium was not far behind scoring 112/36/76 with splits of 53/59 followed by the ever consistent Lyn Annand 111/33/78 with splits of 55/56.

There were a number of players winning chocolate bar vouchers i.e. birdies, Rosemary Martland 5th and Josie Ashby 14th, ferrets, Lucy Richards 1st, 17th, Lee Anderson 3rd, 10th, Martland 5th, Myers 13th, Lee-Anne Medhurst 17th.

This week will be the quarter finals of the Handicap Championships for both divisions as well as a stableford competition for those not competing in the championships.
