Millicent crowns its triples champions

Millicent Bowls Club kicks off its annual club championship events

With the sublime spring weather conditions and a well manicured course, there could be no excuses that could be used for the 24 women that played a stableford competition last Wednesday at the Blue Lake Golf Club.

Scores breaking the rating of 36 points rolled in especially in division one and Lee-Anne Medhurst had no trouble posting 39 points from splits of an inward 19 and 20 on the outward nine.

Off a 26 handicap Medhurst recorded pars on the 2nd, 12th and 14th holes partenered with four three-pointers with a scrub on the 10th.

Sue Agars and Karen Panagopoulos both signed for 38 points with splits of 20/18 creating a countback going Agars way with her 20 points on the back nine where countbacks take place.

A good spread of pars on the 3rd and 4th and the 10th, 14th and 17th with a scrub on the 13th clinched 2nd place.

Panagopoulos off 25 was relegated to 3rd with splits of 21/17 that included a par on the dog-leg 9th, three three-pointers and no scrubs.

Another good score of 36 points was posted by division two’s Jaynee Oberer, off a 33 handicap, starting with a four-pointer on the opening hole (1st) combining with four three-pointers and no scrubs on her scorecard just able to nudge out Bev Pascoe who had 35 points with splits of 16/19 that included a par on the par three 5th as well as four three-pointers.

Johanna Gogan off 36 was third on the podium scoring 33 points from three three-pointers, a fourpointer on the par three 14th and scrubs on the 13th and 17th holes.

Nearest to the pin 2nd shot winner’s were Josie Ashby (Div 1) and Gael Ford (Div 2).

The pro-shot was won by Lynette Hirth and a birdie from a chip-in ferret on the 8th won chocolate vouchers for Dianne Perryman. Dianne Allen also had a chip-in ferret on the 18th also winning herself a voucher.
