The scores were Penny 35, Ann 32, Jo P 29 and Jenny 27. They were happy with them. Everyone came away with a smile as they all were gifted a bottle of wine. They are the golf days you want to play in!! However, Jenny hit the jackpot with 2 wonderful drives to two Par 3 holes – 8th and 17th to score vouchers from Drummonds for 2 NTP prizes. Last Saturday Di and Jo P found a koala near the tee on the 13th hole. It was quite friendly and allowed Di to have a photo taken once it had climbed into a nearby tree. 6/11/2024 Sheoak Trophy Day at Echunga.

Twelve ladies headed out to the Strath golf course on Wednesday 30th October to be greeted with slightly foggy conditions.

Marie found the dam and Mandi found both the dam and the creek. Mandi also said that she found ALL the trees on the course, however she hadn’t been out to play for a while, so it was good to see her back playing. 23/10/2024 Jo Cullen wins Par with +4 Twelve ladies headed out to the Strathalbyn Golf Club on Wednesday 23rd October to play a Par round. It proved to be perfect golfing weather especially for Jo Cullen as she finished with a fantastic +4. Penny Geue enjoyed the day almost as much scoring +2 for her round. The other ladies had varying degrees of enjoyment with Mel Johnson, Cara Eastwood and Marie Kingsbury all finishing with -1, Ann Semple and Charmaine Aplin -2, Kerrie Edwards and Jo Pickhaver -3, Pauline Walkom -7, Maureen Need -9 and Jenny Drury -10. Kerrie hit her drive onto the 9th green, but she thought her drive would be beaten. However, she was wrong, and she won the NTP for the day. Charmaine’s fairway shot ended up in the dam, Kerrie’s landed on the edge and was able to be hit, and Marie was extremely happy to win a ball in the rundown as she lost 2 on her round. Jo P. used good course management moving a fallen limb so she wouldn’t be distracted by it when she had her shot. The best story came from Charmaine. She decided to take a drop from her predicament – her ball lodged in the branches of a tree about head high. 16/10/2024 Charmaine Aplin wins on a countback.

Cara had a gobbler (chip in) on the 13th, Kerrie had a gobbler/birdie on the 8th and Jo C. had a birdie on the 8th. One story from the day was that Kerrie hit nearly every tree on the course but blitzed her chips and putts to make up for the trouble off the tee. The ladies had perfect weather for golf, and this showed in some of the scores. There was a nice run on the fairways and thank you goes to the volunteers who groom the course so beautifully. On Friday 4th October, Di and Kerrie headed to Victor Harbor where they enjoyed a lovely day of weather, company, nature and food including yummy champers and scones on the 10th hole. There were moments of pleasure and pain with occasional good golf from the Strath gals. Congratulations to Kerrie who won NTP on the tricky Par 3 3rd hole. They were honoured to play with Tonya from the Glenelg Golf Club who had won the previous 2 days Ladies Classic competition. The club would like to acknowledge Penny Geue who this week played golf and table tennis at the Transplant games in Canberra. All the best, Penny. Enjoy!!
