In what still felt like almost zero degrees, despite the sunshine, a dedicated group of women teed off for the 3rd round of the Marlene Lingham Memorial Stableford Trophy, sponsored by the Blue Lake Bar and Bistro, at the Blue Lake Golf Club last Wednesday..<\/p>\n
Once again scores were indicative of the heavy underfoot conditions but in saying that the course is holding up very well thanks to the dedication of the greenkeeper and his many volunteer helpers.<\/p>\n
Karen Panagopoulos registered the best score of the day and was best placed winning the first place voucher for division one signing for 31 points off a 26 handicap.<\/p>\n
A par on the 2nd, scrub on the 3rd and two three-pointers gave her16 points then turning to the back nine to record 15 points that included two three-pointers and no scrubs.<\/p>\n
A four-way countback ensued between Josie Ashby, Rosemary Martland, Dianne Perryman and Helen Stratford all scoring 27 points with Ashby taking second place and Martland third place. Ashby had splits of 10\/17 and Martland off 18 had splits of 11\/16.<\/p>\n
Panagopoulos was the 2nd shot nearest to the pin on the par three 2nd hole. Stratford won prizes for a birdie from a chip-in ferret on the par three 5th as well as the best front nine score.<\/p>\n
Winner of Division Two was Jo Gogan off a 33 handicap and signed for 27 points starting slowly on the front nine scoring only 9 points but dug deep posting 18 points that included four threepointers and no scrubs finishing strongly.<\/p>\n
New member, Bernadette Pedlar would have pleased with her first Wednesday outing posting 26 points starting with three-pointers on the 1st and 2nd holes, a fourpointer on the 8th unfortunately scrubbing the 9th accumulating 16 points. The back nine was a bit more of a challenge posting 10 points.<\/p>\n
The nearest to the pin 2nd shot on the 2nd was Gogan.<\/p>\n
