Ladies
Despite the showery weather on Melbourne Cup Day, 29 Tathra Beach lady golfers teed off in a stableford competition. Some great scores were returned in both grades with scores needing to be in the 30s even to get a ball.
Karen Enright won Div 1 (hcps 0-27) with an equal best score of the round, 42 points. Not to be outdone, Sue Pauline also scored 42 points to win Div 2 (hcps 27-45).
Runners-up, also with great scores, were Noeline Bell in Div 1 and Sandra Mullaney in Div 2. Noeline returned a score of 36 points and Sandra 38. Nearest the pin winners were Sue Pauline on the 3rd, Sally Armstrong on the 14th and Noeline Bell on the 9th and 18th.
Last Saturday, 12 Bega and 19 Tathra ladies played the second round of the Jellat Cup at Bega. Tathra started with a narrow lead but faltered and were eventually beaten by the home club. The cup will remain with Bega for another year.
The first round of club championships will be held next Tuesday, November 13. The second and third round are scheduled for November 18 and 20. On Saturday, for those not attending the Mallacoota Open, there will be a stableford competition.
The Monday nine hole game was a stableford and 15 players competed in damp conditions. Winners on the day were Lee Gill, Kerri Wood, Rhonda Castellari, Denise Glover and Jo Byrnes. Next Monday is an 830am hit off. All welcome.
