Ladies’ Section

THIS week the ladies played an individual 18-hole Stableford qualifying competition held over from before Christmas, writes Rosemary Shepherd.

The prizes were the meat vouchers, which might have bought Christmas Dinner.

The Saturday Meat Run and the Tuesday Chicken Chase were each played in very cold, but dry conditions.

A reduced field of just four ladies played on Saturday and the winner was Ruth Donovan with 34 points.

Tuesday’s competition was keenly contested by 23 ladies. The winner was Carole Brown (31pts) on countback from Nicky Stone and in third was Pat Baldwin (30pts).
