Josie Ashby loves golf in June

Considering there has been record rainfull for June, the last Wednesday of the month was a nice surprise as the women at the Blue Lake Golf Club teeing up for the Monthly Medal stroke competition were presented with no wind and no rain.

Josie Ashby with the top nett score was the winner of the medal sponsored by life member Judy Collins and it was noted Ashby won the June medal last year, now her favourite month.

Ashby was in top form also top scoring in Division One to take the first prize RSL voucher signing for 101/23/78 finding herself in tight spots at times but able to live up to her ‘recovery queen’ title with splits of 52/49. No pars were recorded but a chip-in ferret on the 8th hole after visiting bunker to bunker is worth mentioning saving what could have been a triple bogey.

Evergreen Ronda Edsecond on the podium.Third placegetter was Sue Agars 99/19/80 one of the only one’s to score multiple pars in her splits of 49 /50 on the 5th, 9th and 15th holes.
