Silverware handed out

Mount Gambier Golf Club ladies celebrate season

Last Wednesday 60 female golfers thoroughly enjoyed a 4 Person Ambrose to commence the Christmas celebrations for the day. The women complemented the festive occasion with very colourful attire.

The winners of the dayposted an unbelievable score of nett 19.7/8th played over nine holes. The winning ladies coped with having to wield a plastic kid’s putter, a left-handed kid’s driver (if one was right -handed and vice versa), having to hit skittles over on the 6th green and putting with a very heavy croquet mallet. Completely unfazed by the obstacles Linda Boylan, Kate McCormick, Maree Murray and Lyndal McInerney took out first place.

Seconnd place went to Di O’Donnell, Denise Harvey, Sue Szpory and Helen Heaver with another great score of 21.1/4, while third placing with n ett 23.5/8th was Di Norman, Carmel Aldersey, Andrea Pegler and Hope Bliss.

NTP on the Par 3, 8th hole went to golfer Hope Bliss and non-golfer Janet Stephens.

The most accurate drive to the rope spanning the middle of the 3rd fairway went to golfer Jill Johnson and to non-golfer Gail Lewis.

Life Member Isobel Phillips presented the Mount Gambier Golf Club Handicap Match Play to a very deserving golfer Lizzie Clements. Lorraine Bruhn, from Limestone Holdings, presented a worthy winner of the Olympic Trophy to Janina Morrison.

After the nine holes the ladies were treated to a two course luncheon, prepared by President Kathy Ewer and helpers. A Mannequin Parade and funny skit was enjoyed by everyone.

This week’s event will be a Stableford – Ham Day sponsored by Jeannette Braun and this will be the last game of the season and the Ladies Committee will take a well earned six weeks off and club professional John Martinwill be conducting a Stableford competition.
