WELCOME Ladies to the May Newsletter. We had some good rain during the month, and the rain fortunately did not interfere with our golf games. May saw the Ladies Midweek Senior Championship held over two weeks and the winner for the second year in a row was Jean White with a net score of 154 and runners up were Roslyn Russell on a countback from Christine Dubois and Betty Kaluschke who had net scores of 155. Well done ladies. HOLE IN ONE Jean White Ladies 2017 Senior Champion Saturday 20 th May, saw Margaret Anderson hit the perfect shot for a Hole In One on the 18 th Hole on the South Course which also resulted in an Eagle. Well done Margaret, the long wait is over.
LADIES PENNANT Pennant Update: Division 1 commenced their season on Friday 28 th April and have now played 5 matches with sadly no wins and have 1 match remaining on 9/6 to hopefully record a win before the end of the pennant season. There have been some very close games finishing on the 18 th hole but unfortunately the luck has not gone Nudgee s way. Division 3 also commenced their season on Friday 28 th April and have now played 6 matches with 3 Wins and 3 losses and have 1 remaining match on Friday 9/6 to hopefully come home strongly with another win by shaking up their opponents. Our Weekend 3 team who commenced their season on Sunday 30 th April played their last match last Sunday against Keperra at Wantima. They have played extremely well having won 4 out of 4 matches going into the last round with a strong chance of winning a flag. Unfortunately this was not in the plans of the golfing gods as they were beaten and have finished a very commendable 2 nd. Well done team and we will still celebrate your fabulous efforts at our Pennant Dinner to be held later in the year.
