12th December Results

Ladies Golf 7th December. Monthly Medal Stroke

There was a larger field to play stroke for the monthly medal award. The competition was hot for a new blue shirt, before it changes colour next year. It was good to welcome Jean Youl and Jan Milne back.

Shirley Jenner had a day out with a net score of 69. She also was nearest the pin on the 9th and had the least number of putts. Margaret Learmonth and Nola Robinson were in the ball pool with scores of 70 and 72 net. The walkers did a good job as it warmed up.

Next week is the last round of the championships. All players are welcome. Play will be followed by the customary afternoon tea. With cooler weather forecast play will start at 10am with assembly at 9:30am.
