Mount Gambier Golf Club hosts ladies match play finals & so much more

Last Wednesday was the semi finals of the handicap match play competition at the Mount Gambier Golf Club. These two matches were very close with the game between Leanne Hunt and Janina Morrison finishing on the 19th hole. This was a close encounter all the way but Hunt managed to take the win on the last hole. In the other match Lizzie Clements was the victor over Jess Parsons in a great contest with Parsons clawing her way back only to lose on the 18th hole. Hunt now plays Clements and this should be a fantastic match with Hunt having to give a considerable amount of strokes and will have to bring her best game to pull off the win. Congratulations to both ladies for making the final.

Thirty-two players also took to the course last Wednesday in conjunction with the match play finals. Conditions were cool and windy for this time of the year which reflected in some of the scores for the day. The ever consistent Carol Davis won Division 1 with 36 points followed closely by Helen McIntyre on 35pts. In Division 2 Debbie Sheather had a win on 35 points with Maxine McGregor next on 33 points.

Di ODonnell was the most accurate on the 8th hole and ntp 2nd shots winners were Faye Mainwaring in A Grade and Maxine McGregor in C Grade.

A small field of six ladies braved the weather last Saturday to play a par round. Janina Morrison wasn’t deterred as she carded a great score of 5 up leaving the rest of the field way behind by 7 shots. Faye Mainwaring and Helen Heaver were the next best with 2 down. Morrison scoring 6 pars and 2 birdies in her impressive round.

WEDNESDAY WINNERS: Carol Davis, Helen McIntyre, Debbie Sheather & Maxine McGrego
