LADIES’ RESULTS
January 7: Ladies’ Tuesday afternoon golf got underway last week subsequent to the completion of the holiday season and 28 players answered the call to play an Individual Stableford sponsored by Viv Jordan.
Janet Blatch carded a very good 40 points to win the afternoon’s proceedings.
Just one point in arrears, Margie Reid captured the runner-up slot by counting out Sonia Reynolds into 3rd place, both players carding 39 points.
Jenny Ralph birdied the only two-club of the afternoon, her effort finding the bottom of the hole on the par three 8th.
Nobody found the green on Top Carpets’ 6th, while Angela Trollip‘s drive ended up closest to the hole on Rosehill Driving Range’s 8th. Pri Bladen was nearest on Wimpy’s11th and Pogs Smith ended “closet for two” on Kekkel and Kraai’s13th.
The longest drive competitions were held on the 1st fairway and won by Angela Trollip and Jenny Adair in the lower and higher handicap sections respectively.
Individual nett rounds of note were made by Janet Blatch (68), Margie Reid and Sonia Reynolds (69).
The competition on January 21 will be a three-ball Stableford Alliance sponsored by the Camelot Spa.
FISHAWAYS’ PORT ALFRED MIXED
January 11: The Saturday morning mixed competition got underway again after the holidays, again sponsored by Fishaways. Fifteen players participated, drawn into three- and four-balls in a two-to-count Stableford alliance.
In a bizarre ending, three of the covies all ended up on 78 points.
The fourth and the winners on 82 points were Eric Siegers, Andy Manson, Glen and Tim Shanks.
Using the back nine for a count out, the runners up were Danny and Gaby Tarpani, playing alongside Tony and Pat Halse. All players received discount vouchers from the sponsors.
There were neither any two-clubs or individual rounds of distinction, the best of the latter being Glen Shanks’ nett 70.
Glynnis Renecle won the bottle of wine sponsored by the RPAGC for being closest to the pin on the 8th.
The Pam golfers donated R1,000 to the SPCA during December.
