FORTY golfing ladies took to the course at the Mount Gambier Golf Club last Wednesday to participate in the 1st Round Stableford Event, sponsored by Hudson Plumbing.<\/p>\n
The course was presented well with T Blocks and Pins set up fairly and resulted in some very good scores.<\/p>\n
Division 1 first placegetter went to Di Norman (Handicap 22) with an exceptional score of 43 points.<\/p>\n
Di\u2019s round consisted of two birdies on the 8th and 18th holes, six pars and a genuine 88 off the stick.<\/p>\n
Her split for the day was a very consistent 22\/21=43 points.<\/p>\n
Only two points behind in second place was Leanne Hunt (Handicap 11) with another very good score of 41 points.<\/p>\n
Leanne\u2019s split for the two nines was 23\/18=41 points with two birdies on the 1st and 16th holes.<\/p>\n
Leanne played the course to the card with 36 off the stick, a great achievement.<\/p>\n
Division 2 winner, and not to be outdone by Division 1, Lizzie Clements (Handicap 28) also had 43 points.<\/p>\n
Lizzie\u2019s split for the two nines was 18\/25=43 points with 44 off the stick on the Back Nine.<\/p>\n
Lizzie obtained four points on the 11th Par 5 Hole and added another seven three pointers to her score.<\/p>\n
Second position in Division 2 was Rosalie Hunt (Handicap 29) with 34 points, made up of split of 18\/16=34 points which included three three pointers.<\/p>\n
The lady golfers will definitely see some reductions in their handicaps before taking to the course again.<\/p>\n
Nine balls were given out to players with good scores and went to Heather Barry 39 points down to Kathy Ewer 34 points.<\/p>\n
Specialty prizes went to A Grade \u2013 Jess Parsons, B Grade \u2013 Vicki Clark and C Grade \u2013 Yvonne Shirley for the 2nd shot to the Pin on the Par 3, 10th Hole.<\/p>\n
Continuing her great form Di Norman took out the NTP on the 8th, Par 3 Hole only being 45 cms from the hole.<\/p>\n
