Norman takes early lead

FORTY golfing ladies took to the course at the Mount Gambier Golf Club last Wednesday to participate in the 1st Round Stableford Event, sponsored by Hudson Plumbing.

The course was presented well with T Blocks and Pins set up fairly and resulted in some very good scores.

Division 1 first placegetter went to Di Norman (Handicap 22) with an exceptional score of 43 points.

Di’s round consisted of two birdies on the 8th and 18th holes, six pars and a genuine 88 off the stick.

Her split for the day was a very consistent 22/21=43 points.

Only two points behind in second place was Leanne Hunt (Handicap 11) with another very good score of 41 points.

Leanne’s split for the two nines was 23/18=41 points with two birdies on the 1st and 16th holes.

Leanne played the course to the card with 36 off the stick, a great achievement.

Division 2 winner, and not to be outdone by Division 1, Lizzie Clements (Handicap 28) also had 43 points.

Lizzie’s split for the two nines was 18/25=43 points with 44 off the stick on the Back Nine.

Lizzie obtained four points on the 11th Par 5 Hole and added another seven three pointers to her score.

Second position in Division 2 was Rosalie Hunt (Handicap 29) with 34 points, made up of split of 18/16=34 points which included three three pointers.

The lady golfers will definitely see some reductions in their handicaps before taking to the course again.

Specialty prizes went to A Grade – Jess Parsons, B Grade – Vicki Clark and C Grade – Yvonne Shirley for the 2nd shot to the Pin on the Par 3, 10th Hole.

Continuing her great form Di Norman took out the NTP on the 8th, Par 3 Hole only being 45 cms from the hole.
