Women’s18 Holes— Correction. In the last report itwas stated that Jenny Gallaugher had played the best round of golf she had ever hadwith 82 off the stick.
Unfortunately it wasthe writer’s error, her correct score being 88 off the stick. Nevertheless, itwasone of those never-to-be-forgottendream days when everything goes well. I apologise for any embarrassment or inconvenience.
