Women’s Golf - 3/5/26

Our Big Morning Tea was held this week - after being postponed due to the rain last week - along with our Medal Round and Individual Stableford off multiple tees. Time sheet is getting complicated again for Lynette, but hopefully only temporarily as we all come to grips with the yellow/red tee times regime. Unfortunately I couldn't make it this week, so I missed out on all the fun - and the yummee treats that our members provided to enjoy after our BBQ lunch.

I was sponsoring this Event in memory of my late mother in law, Elva Daintry - who would love the idea of everyone enjoying a round of golf and lunch in her name - she did love the game (in general) and our club (in particular). Like many of our past women members she contributed enormously over the years in both time and effort, and we must acknowledge their contribution - we are so grateful for the wonderful legacy they handed down to us.

Thanks everyone for your generous donations to the Cancer Council fundraiser - amount raised was $461.20 (from guessing game, jams, donations and sale of leftover slices). Thanks to our Committee once again for their hands on effort (with a few of us on the bench it makes for a heavier load for them, so we appreciate all they do - its not compulsory, but they do it anyway).

Results for the day - Winner - Robyn Whittaker 68(nett) Runner up - Caryl Baker-Turley 70.

Medal Winners- - Div 1 - R. Whittaker 68; Div 2 - C. Baker-Turley 70; Div 3 - C. Lea 74.
