Doyle defies conditions to card quality score

LAST Wednesday’s stableford competition saw 26 women tee up at the Blue Lake Golf Club and with still some gusty wind conditions the cleanup from the weekend’s horrendous weather had been a fantastic effort by the greenskeeper and his staff to clear much of the loose debris with some large trees still to be dealt with.

The score of the day of an awsome 39 points was posted by Division Two player Trudy-Anne Doyle.

Rosemary Martland, the division one winner, also scored well off her 15 handicap signing for 36 points.

Even splits of 18/18 included four three-pointers off pars on the 4th, 9th, 12th and 18th holes.

Runner up Sue Agars followed with 35 points off her 22 handicap with three-point pars on the 2nd, 5th and 9th holes in her outward 17 points coming home with a four-point birdie on the 16th in the inward 18 points.

Third was Dianne Perryman posting 33 points off a 23 handicap scoring on every hole with par three-pointers on the 2nd and 12th holes in her 17/16 splits.

As mentioned Trudy-Anne Doyle with her 39 points off her 38 handicap won the top voucher for Division Two her splits of 17/22 included two four-pointers on the 2nd and 10th holes along with five three-pointers and only one wipe on her near clean scorecard.
