Good results in opening event

Sixty-one Warragul women played in the opening day stableford event sponsored by the Knersch family in memory of their mother, Ollie Knersch, who was a very keen Warragul golfer.

Near perfect conditions enabled the participants to score some very good results.

The winner of A grade was one of the club’s lowest handicappers Deb Corstorphin with 40 points. Janine Williams was the runner up with 39 points.

The winner of B grade was Belinda Best with 39 points from runner up Sandy Heenan with 36 points.

Margaret Williams won C grade with 39 points followed by Jill Little with 38 points.

Nearest the pin on the seventh was Janine Williams, while Lesley Huggins was the closest on the 15th.

A new competition called Mystery Six, taking the place of the pro-pin, was won by Deb Corstorphin in A grade while Angela Stewart won B grade.

Barb Wirth won the nine-hole event with 20 points from Molly Answerth 16 points.

Down the line balls went to Marg Gleeson 16 points, Dorothy Logan 15 points and Dianne Mason-woods on 14 points.
