Women - 8/7/2020
Wednesday was an absolutely beautiful day, with 14 teams out to celebrate National Tartan Day. To bring out the scottish in us all, some players were all kitted out in their tartan. There were no bagpipes or haggis to be had but the day was generously sponsored by W. Carey & Sons Quality Meats.
42 points was the target until the last group came in, where Melanie McLennan and Yvonne Pinington returned a great team score of 43 points. Trish Bell and Anne Lyons were hot on their heels with 42 points to be the runner up team for the day, on a countback from Gwen Porter and Di Macdonald. There is shortbread in lieu of Balls for Tartan Day, so please collect your shortbread from the proshop asap, or the guys said they will eat it.
Scores for the day were those above, then teams as follow-
Tub Ingall and Annice Payne, Marg Adcock and Janet Davis, Ann Tomkins and Lyn Gibson, Ann Ellis and Joy Bowles, Vicki Bennett and Jan Aspinall all with 41.
Di Johnson and Sharron Cooper 40, Di Evans and Ellie Casey, Judy Stiff and Nachcha Craggs 39, Michelle Wright and Jill Barnes 38, Kath Devereus and Anna Cox, Patricia Eastwell and Helen Olsen 37. The best dressed team (although they roasted in their outfits, was Jill Barnes and Michelle Wright).
Saturday was a cold and windy day, but 19 keen ladies took to the course to battle it out for our July Monthly Medal. Danielle continued her fine form with a win in Division 1 with a great 74 nett, closely followed by Tub Ingall with 76, who has managed to return to form to be back in Division 1 again. Well done Danielle, Well done Tub!! Danielle had the magic putter in division 1 with only 27 putts.
Division 2 was won by Annice Payne with 74nett, with Anne Lyons continuing her good form to be runner up with 75nett. Anne also won the div 2 putting.
Rundown balls went to Gwen Mills and Mark Adcock, and our Covid rundown balls in lieu of pins went to Sharron Cooper, Mary Young, Jill Barnes and Di Evans.

Sunday saw the final of the Championship, with the Mother /Daughter duo taking line honours over Jill and Melanie on the 18th Hole. It was a super match, and very final worthy. Congratulations to both teams for such high standard golf, with teamwork getting everyone to the finals. A small gathering was there for presentations, with sponsor Michelle Wright from Michelle's Wright-At-Home Hair Studio there to present the trophies for this honour board event. The finalists also would like to mention how very appreciative they all were of the gallery that followed to support them all.
Today we will be playing a Single stroke for a trophy generously sponsored by KFC. We thank our local KFC for sticking with us during this hard time, it is so very much appreciated. Saturday we will be the qualifying round of the Presidents Foursomes, a handicap event, so grab a partner, shake hands on the 1st tee, and go out and have fun.
