THE Gloucester Golf Ladies Pennant team, dressed in flame orange shirts, started the new pennant season in style at Tuncurry on Monday 2 March, with a closely fought win over Port Macquarie Sapphires by 3 matches to 2. With four matches in the clubhouse, the score was two-all with Dale Rabbett and Gai Falla both winning their matches. It came down to the last hole of the last match still out there, and Anne Wand sunk her par putt to win her match and the day for Gloucester.
Last Wednesday, 4 March, the Gloucester Golf Ladies had their Opening Day for the season with an Individual Stableford event. The overcast skies and the hint of a breeze kept temperatures down.
Some of the players were testing out the new sand in the bunkers, topped up the previous Friday, thanks to the Gloucester Veterans golfers.
Carolyn Davies won Division 1 with 33 points, on a countback from Karen Howarth, with Pat Burrows winning Division 2 with 36 points. The two winners won a voucher each, generously donated by Batter and Dough.
Balls went to Rhonda Nightingale, 34 and Karen Howarth, 33, with Susie Higgins taking the last ball on a countback with 32 points.
Dale Rabbett scooped the prizes for Nearest-to-the-Pins, winning on the 4th and 13th holes and for Division 1 on the 6th and 15th holes.
The Gloucester Golf Ladies will play a Four Ball Aggregate Stableford today, Wednesday 11 March. Next Wednesday, 18 March, they will play an Individual Stableford sponsored by Sally Higgins for their first Monthly Medal of the year.
