THE first round of the Gloucester Golf Ladies Championships was played last Wednesday, 16 July; it was a perfect winter’s day with bright blue skies and the sun providing some warmth.
It was a small field, with illness keeping some players away, none of which disguised a handy win for Anne Wand.
While the course conditions are getting better each day, there is always a challenge for players to match their handicap.
Following the precedent set the previous week, one player defied the conditions and played inside her handicap.
This time it was Anne Wand who handed in a solid score of 71 net, well ahead of the rest of the field.
Balls went to Carolyn Davies and Evelyn Blanch, both with net scores of 79. It was a day where the prizes were shared around, with the Nearest-to-the Pin prizes won by Gai Falla at the 4th and 13th holes, and Myrelle Fraser on the 6th and 15th holes.
This Wednesday 23 July the Gloucester Golf Ladies play the second round of their Club Championships with the third and final round next Wednesday 30 July.
