Cabarlah Ladies

On Tuesday, November 28 we played a Stableford Competition using three clubs and a putter. Each player chose their preferred clubs for the event, and some surprisingly good scores were achieved, making one wonder why we have a full bag of clubs in the first place! No, not serious, it was an exception. We enjoyed a fun day, leading up to Christmas, and splendid trophies were donated by Chris Tannock. Winner today was Petae Frazer with a score of 42 points. Second was Pamie Campbell with 35 points. Third was Connie Harrison with 34 points. Run down: Hazel Black 33, Jessella McConnell 31 and Linda Ryan 30. Four pins were competed for and won, being 1/1 Pamie Campbell, 2/10 Jessella McConnell, 4/15 Pamie Campbell and 4/8 Petae Frazer. Next Tuesday, December 5, we will be playing a Single Stableford for Club Trophies.
