GOLF Fairview Nine-hole Ladies
On October 19, the group played our Winter Top 10 Shootout, the scores for this competition accumulating during the winter months. As one of our ladies was unable to play, nine of us teed off hole number two. The winner of the day was Wendy Cocks, second was Carol Fippard and third Maggie Alexander. We all enjoyed being part of this very successful competition. Thanks goes to our excellent referee Rosalie Wrathal and our very competent markers Ros Robson and Anita Kelly. There was a back-nine Stableford haggle for those ladies not in the shootout and the winners were Joanne Carnachan with 23, Debbie Shaw (22), Sandie Knowlson and Naomi Van Der Merwe (19), and Jackie Antonievich (18).
