Mount Gambier Golf Club ladies working their way through qualifying rounds

Clear weather assisted good scoring in the 2nd Qualifying Round for 43 ladies at the Mount Gambier Golf Club last Wednesday.

In form lady golfer, Trudy Johnson (handicap 27) absolutely blitzed the field with a great score of 93 off the stick, nett 66, seven strokes under her handicap.

Trudy’s score for the qualifying rounds meant she was eligible to play in the A Grade Club Championship, however, she has opted to playing off in the C Grade Championship.

Trudy’s split for her game was 45/48=93 off the stick and included 5 Pars. The handicapper will once again be adjusting her handicap.

Janina climbed the ladder in the draw to finish sixth. Janina had a great front nine with 42 off the stick which included a birdie on the third hole. She also played under her handicap.

Third placing went to Hope Bliss, (Handicap 20) playing to her Handicap with 45/48=93 off the stick and only had one blemish for the day with consistency shown on all the other holes.
