THE Mount Gambier Golf Club Ladies Opening Day was successfully held in perfect weather conditions with many new players and friends joining in.<\/p>\n
Fourteen teams consisting of 56 players took part in a competition was a 4 Ball Ambrose event, kindly sponsored by club captain Lizzie Clements.<\/p>\n
The winners on the day were Bev Pedlar, Kerry Pedlar, Jan Reid and Janina Morrison with the nett score of 57.5.<\/p>\n
It was a memorable day for this group with inviting Jan Reid (nee Price) to join them.<\/p>\n
Jan comes from the well known Price family of golfers and she had always been the only non-golfer in her family – this may change now.<\/p>\n
Bev, Kerry and Janina have all had a very successful week playing in the Southern Ports Golf Week with Kerry winning the A Grade Champion.<\/p>\n
Runners up were Libby Altschwager, Carol Smith, Maureen Howe and Lizzie Clements scoring nett 58.25. It was great to welcome Maureen Howe back to golf after a long absence.<\/p>\n
Pro Shot on the 8th was taken out by Robe\u2019s Ruth Main (golfer) and Sara McManus (social glfer).<\/p>\n
The Long Drive on the 1st was won by Bronwyn Bond (golfer) and Sheree Alley (social golfer).<\/p>\n
Bronwyn has not played golf for many years and had a massive drive on the first hole to easily win. Hopefully this will encourage her back to playing.<\/p>\n
Another very important event was announced on the day which was the winner of the 2025 Summer Cup.<\/p>\n
This was won Jennifer Van Rijthoven and presented by life member Isobel Phillips, who also sponsored the Summer Cup.<\/p>\n
