Hudson gets the job done

Stableford competition at Mount Gambier Golf Club

The Mount Gambier Golf Club ladies AGM was held last Wednesday with a new committee elected with Lizzie Clements being nominated and accepted as the lady captain for 2023-24. The retiring captain Jan Shanahan was given many thanks for her two year stint. Jan managed her captaincy with competency and fairness and can retire knowing that it was a job well done.

The beautiful weather, 25 degrees, contributed to 45 ladies teeing off and many good scores were recorded in a Stableford competition, genersusly sponsored by Peter Dempsey.

Eleven ladies played to their handicap or better with the best score of the day going to Lyn Hudson, 97-31-66 = 43 points, playing 7 shots under her handicap.

Second best score of the day, the oft mentioned in our results, Janina Morrison, 87-19-68 nett = 41 points. Janina’s purple patch continues and she had a birdie on the 17th par five hole, plus 8 three pointers. Her split for the two nines was 23/18 points.

In third placing Sue Ryan, 106- 36-70 nett = 39 points, equating to 3 under her handicap. Sue had 9 three pointers with a split of 21/18 points, playing very consistent golf to chalk up her 39 points.
