SCONE LADIES GOLF
Last Thursday July 11 the Scone lady golfers played an 18 hole stroke for the District Medal and June Jukes Trophy. Again a dismal day prevailed for golf, and all are looking forward to a bright one shortly. However, it was bright for Ruth Wallace who is on a winning streak, as she set up her round with a fine front nine. 71 nett was far better than the rest of the field and this won Ruth the NHDLGA Medal and a chance to play off later in the year, as well as Captain June’s prize. Kathy Robinson was runner up with 75 nett. Ruth also won the NTP on the 8th / 17th. The birdie box on the 2nd only had three balls and these were shared by June Jukes, Cheryl Clydsdale andLyn Banks! Gobblers were recorded by Julie Leckie, Kathy Robinson, Elizabeth Kevans and Robyn Murray who made a welcomed return to the game. Ball winners were Julie Leckie 76, Cheryl Clydsdale 76, Lyn Banks 77, Narelle Rutter 78, Judy Carmody 80 on a countback from June Jukes and Wendy Clift.
On Saturday the 18 hole stableford was played in perfect golfing conditions with regular players Julie Leckie and Lyn Banks left wondering why others were not taking advantage of the day on the course. Lyn had a good round with 36 points.
In the ladies pennants the Scone team previously went down 3/2 to Aberdeen and then played the last round against Singleton at Branxton this week on July 15. The team won 5 ½ points to 1 ½ but leaders Aberdeen did likewise over Denman, and thus they took out the NHDLGA Grade Pennant in Pool 1. Scone finished second and all players who represented the club are to be congratulated on their efforts in 2013.
Today Thursday July 18, will be an 18 hole stableford event and the second round of the Peter Marshall Singles Knockout. This Sunday July 21 will be an 18 hole mixed 2B and individual stableford for the Mary and Graeme Woodlands Trophy so players are encouraged to get a partner and enjoy the day. On Thursday July 25 the Foursomes Championship will be played over 27 holes in two divisions.
