Perryman makes the best of tough conditions

Blue Lake Golf Club ladies battle wild weather to tackle 3rd round of Metro Silver Salver

The 3rd round of the Metro Bakery and Cafe sponsored Silver Salver was held at the Blue lake Golf ClubWednesday.

One could say the weather of cold, wet and windy was firstly not conducive to good scores being recorded but add a par competition and it was not every golfers way to spend a day on the fairways Numbers were down and kudos to the 17 that fronted up especially the winner in Division1, Dianne Perryman (pictured) off a 20 handicap signing for 2-down, went out in style paring the 1st and 3rd with handicap plusses on the 6th and 7th turning to the 10th 3-up.

The back nine proved to be a lot harder to score having 5-down. Trudy Herbert off 28 signed for 5-down after having that on the front-nine that included 2-plusses and a consistent back nine of square and helped her win a countback with Sue Agars also 5-down.

The struggles were very obvious in Division 2 with most finding scoring very hard and it was Carol Melhuish coming home with 6-down to collect the first prize voucher. The front nine was the most difficult for Melhuish turning 6-down but was able to add three plusses on the back- nine for all square score.

Lesley McPherson would probably like to forget her day, not faring well with 12-down but at least she was out there doing it and collected a voucher for her tenacity.

Most the special event prizes went to Josie Ashby for nearest to the pin on the 16th after a birdie resulting from a chip-in ferret and winning the pro-shot on the 5th. Another to have chip-in ferret were Bev Pascoe 8th and 15th
