Clark wins her first Monthly Medal

Last Wednesday 38 ladies played in the August Monthly Medal Stroke competition, generously sponsored by Peter Jennings Pump, at the Mount Gambier Golf Club. The ladies played in lovely sunny but windy conditions and the course was at its best and presented fair and very playable, with the T Blocks and pins strategically position.

Winning her first Monthly Medal Vicki Clark (Handicap 27) played one under her Handicap recording 99- 27-72 Nett. Vicki won the August Monthly Medal plus a $40 Voucher for topping her Division 2 and she had a very good Front Nine with 45 off the stick plus 4 Pars. Taking out second placing in Division 2 was Mary Kentish (Handicap 33) registering 107-33-74 Nett. Mary had 48 off the stick on the Front Nine but the long Back Nine ruined her card. Mary Parred the 1st, 6th and 16th Holes.

Carol Smith (Handicap 23) – 96-23-73, continued her burst of good form taking out Division 1 and played to her Handicap. Carol had a very consistent card with Front 9 46 off the stick and Back 9 50 off the stick = 96 plus 3 Pars. Carol also won the voucher kindly donated by Sorrentos which was handed out to the winner of Division 1 last week.

Second placing went to the most consistent lady golfer at the club – Faye Mainwaring (Handicap 15 ) 88- 15-73 Nett unlucky to lose on a countback to Carol. Six Pars were recorded on Faye’s scorecard. Faye once again won the monthly Putting competition with just 28 putts.

Eight balls were received by the lady golfers scoring Nett 74 down to Nett 78. In the speciality prizes for the Pro Shot on the 8th, Par 3 Hole went to Kate McCormick, who finished off her great shot with a birdie. Winners of the 2nd Shot on the 1st Hole were A Grade – Val Grubb, B Grade – Jess Parsons and C Grade – Mary Kentish.

Wednesday competition for this week will be the Final Round of the Hudson Plumbing and Roofing played in the stableford format.

AUGUST 5 RESULTS

Fourteen lady golfers teed off at the Mount Gambier Golf Club last Saturday participating in a Stroke Round plus Putting competition. The course was in immaculate condition and the weather was varied with drizzle and sunshine.

Taking out first place was Leanne Hunt (87-15-72 Nett). Leanne played consistent golf and had a great birdie on the 8th Hole. Second placing went to Bev Pedlar (95-22-73) who had a good round, however, she rued the 11th hole which ruined her chances of a more favourable scorecard.
