THE weather was excellent and resulted in really good scoring for 15 ladies to register 36 points or more last Wednesday at the Mount Gambier Golf Club.<\/p>\n
Forty-one ladies contested the 1st Round of the Summer Cup, kindly sponsored by Pauline Patterson and Carol Smith.<\/p>\n
The Cup is played over three stableford rounds and the competitor with the most points will be declared the winner of this prestigious event.<\/p>\n
Starting off the event very well was Mardi Goodes (Handicap 23) in Division 1 amassing 41 points to take out first place.<\/p>\n
Mardi\u2019s excellent back nine with 25 points added to the 16 points on the front nine amounting to 41 points.<\/p>\n
Two birdies on the 3rd and 11th Holes together with six three pointers, two pick-ups accounted for her great score.<\/p>\n
Vice captain Penne Saffin (Handicap 23) took out second placing in Division 1 with 16\/23 =39 points.<\/p>\n
Penne had a par on the 11th hole = four points and accumulated 12 points on the last four holes.<\/p>\n
The best score of the day was in Division 2 with Gail Watson (Handicap 40) scoring a great 43 points \u2013 7 under her handicap.<\/p>\n
Gail\u2019s split for the game was a very consistent 21\/22=43 points.<\/p>\n
Gail recorded eight three pointers and added another four points on the 18th parring this hole.<\/p>\n
Long standing Member Lyn Hudson (Handicap 30) came second in Division 2 , only one point behind the winner.<\/p>\n
Lyn had an excellent front nine with 25 points and added another seven three pointers, plus two more three pointers on the back nine.<\/p>\n
The handicapper will be looking very closely at these players and reductions of handicap should occur before they play next.<\/p>\n
