The Mount Gambier Golf Club ladies AGM was held last Wednesday with a new committee elected with Lizzie Clements being nominated and accepted as the lady captain for 2023-24. The retiring captain Jan Shanahan was given many thanks for her two year stint. Jan managed her captaincy with competency and fairness and can retire knowing that it was a job well done.<\/p>\n

Eleven ladies played to their handicap or better with the best score of the day going to Lyn Hudson, 97-31-66 = 43 points, playing 7 shots under her handicap. Lyn had a wonderful back nine with 24 points and 19 points on the front nine = 43 points, including 6 three pointers recorded on the difficult back nine.<\/p>\n
Second best score of the day, the oft mentioned in our results, Janina Morrison, 87-19-68 nett = 41 points. Janina\u2019s purple patch continues and she had a birdie on the 17th par five hole, plus 8 three pointers. Her split for the two nines was 23\/18 points.<\/p>\n

In very trying conditions last Saturday 18 Ladies teed off to compete in a stableford competition at the Mount Gambier Golf Club.<\/p>\n
The morning ladies had the best weather and winning the competition easily was Lyndal McInerney, amassing a huge score of 47 points, her split being 22\/25 = 47 points. Lyndal\u2019s amazing score (11 under her handicap) consisted of 9 three pointers, plus a birdie on the 8th Hole earning another 5 points. The handicapper will be deducting shots off her handicap of 36 for her next game of golf. Unbelievable and well done Lyndal.<\/p>\n
