Wins for Christine and Adele
The Ladies Section enjoyed a fantastic ‘double header’ of golf in early September, with both a 36 Hole Nett Challenge and an 18 Hole competition taking place side by side.
With a chill in the air and a softer course following much-needed rain, the 36-hole players faced a real test of stamina and concentration. But conditions did nothing to dampen spirits — or scoring.
In the first round, two strong contenders emerged. Sam Allen lit up the front nine with 2 birdies and 5 pars, carding a superb gross 37 (net 34). Hot on her heels, Christine Hall matched her stride with a net 36 on the front nine. Both players held their nerve through the back nine, finishing level on net 71 after 18 holes — setting up a thrilling second round.
After a short break, the ladies set off again in warmer afternoon conditions. Christine and Sam once again led the way, with Robbyn Watson pushing hard in the second round to keep the pressure on. In the end, it was Christine Hall who prevailed, producing two steady nines to return a net 74, just edging out Sam’s battling net 76.
Congratulations go to all the players who took in the 36 Hole Challenge — a true test of skill, stamina, and consistency across a long day of competitive golf.
Meanwhile, in the 18 Hole competition, it was Adele Davies who came out on top. By her own admission she made a slow start, but once she found her rhythm, she was unstoppable — scoring a fantastic 20 points on the final nine to secure victory. She finished just ahead of Cora Gray and Liz Davies, who both scored 30 points to claim the runner-up spots.
A wonderful day of competitive golf, camaraderie, and impressive play — well done to everyone who took part!
