On a very smoky Sunday, with watering eyes and raspy throats, the 19 top qualifiers for the Sudz Laundromat Shootout battled it out. Thank you once again to Vicki and Terry Bennett for sponsoring the shootout and for supplying the ladies with our lovely new pink shirts. Hit off was at 9am and after battling the unusual weather conditions, by 4.30 we had a winner. The 19 ladies left us as follows, Di Johnston, Molly Scotney, Gwen Mills, Donna Keogh, Gill Young, Vicki Bennett, Majella Kahler, Yvonne Pinington, Di Evans, Marg Adcock, Melanie McLennan, Jill Barnes, Mary Young, Judy Lester, Annice Payne, Nachcha Craggs, Trish Bell, leaving Ros Darton and Anne Lyons to play the final hole. 4 lovely shots saw Anne on the green. Ros had a little trouble playing from the tree line, so after two putts our winner for the 2019 Shootout was Anne. What a great achievement after only playing competition golf consistently for the last couple of years, Anne was a very excited and emotional winner. A huge congratulations to all the ladies who played, especially to our final 3 place getters who played beautifully all day avoiding chip offs until the death. A special mention to Ros who quite easily could have been eliminated on 7 but played very smartly to keep it going. Well done to all on what is such a long, tiring but exciting day. A huge thank you to Danielle Seibel for being our ‘Marshall’ for the day, keeping things running smoothly and to Liz Cockram and Janine Stewart for keeping us on our toes with the scoring.
Today is our Christmas party and on Saturday we play our final ladies competition for the year sponsored by Cherry Tree Coffee Lounge. Women's Competition will be in recess until Saturday January 11th 2020 when we return to play the January Monthly Medal. Women will be welcome to play in the Sporters' Wednesday competition and club Saturday Medley competition during this time with trophies and pins as arranged.
