Tough conditions for Blue Lake golfers

A smaller field of women presented at the Blue Lake Golf Club last Wednesday with a dire weather forecast imminent but other than very gusty wind it was better than expected.

Included in her outward 20 points there were four three-pointers, turning to the inward nine to then sink a par four pointer on the 10th hole along with two three pointers in her 21 points.

Ronda Edwards followed after a countback with Ashby also signing for 37 points. Edwards played off 20 and had splits of 20/17 and Included six three pointers, five of which were pars.

The winner in Division Two, Lee Anderson, played a very steady game utilising her 40 handicap to perfection especially on the outward nine scoring 22 points unfortunately falling away after posting 16 points on the inward nine.

There were five three pointers and a fine four point par on the 2nd hole on her scorecard.

A regular in the winner’s circle, Johanna Gogan off a 39 handicap took out the runner up voucher with 37 points with splits of 18/19 that Included a four point par on the 2nd hole along with three three-pointers on the inward nine.

Third place was Dianne Allen with 36 points off her 43 handicap.

Her outward nine score of a massive 23 points Included five three pointers but unfortunately her inward 13 points let her down.
