A true autumn day with sunshine, clouds and wind gusts greeted the women at the Blue Lake Golf Club for a par competition resulting in a three-way tie in Division One.<\/p>\n
It was the first of four par rounds in the Metro Bakery and Cafe sponsored Silver Salver.<\/p>\n
Par competitions are not on the wish list of most golfers as it is a very unforgiving game allowing very few mistakes and is often favoured by the higher handicapper.<\/p>\n
The Division One countback saw Cherryl Hill, Karen Panagopoulos and Ronda Edwards all signing for +1.<\/p>\n
Hill was the eventual winner playing off a 27 handicap her card recorded four-pluses including a par plus on the par five 17th in her splits of -1\/+2.<\/p>\n
