A TOUCH of winter with wind and rain greeted 41 lady golfers at the Mount Gambier Golf Course last Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Thirty-four ladies chose to play a Stroke Competition for the May Monthly Medal and, once again earning herself her 5th Monthly Medal, was Helen Heaver (Handicap 20) with the best score of the day with nett 74.<\/p>\n
Helen has mastered playing stroke and her score of 46\/48=94=nett 74,including a birdie on the 6th, Par 3 Hole and pars on the 8th and 12 Holes aided her to win the medal.<\/p>\n
Only one shot behind in Division 1 was vice captain Bernie Jennings playing off a handicap of 17 and registering on her scorecard a very consistent 46\/46=92=Nett 75. Bernie recorded five pars.<\/p>\n
In first place in Division 2 was Sharran Waters (Handicap 29) with a split of 49 front nine and 54 back nine.<\/p>\n
An eight on the 14th Par 4 Hole denied Sharran taking out the Monthly Medal.<\/p>\n
Second placing in Division 2 went to Mary Kentish (Handicap 26) 55\/49=104=nett 78. Mary had a bad start on the 1st Hole but parred the 6th, Par 3 Hole.<\/p>\n
