SINGLE STROKE WINNERS: Grade winner at the Mount Gambier Golf Club last weekend included (from left) Libby Furner (C), Chris Galpin (B) and Diann Norman (A). Solid win for Galpin IN extremely changeable weather conditions, 40 women played an 18-hole single stroke competition – sponsored by the Comfort Inn and Silver Birch Motels – at Mount Gambier’s Attamurra course last Wednesday. Course conditions were good and it was not surprising to see fi ve players reduce their handicaps. The best nett came from B grader Chris Galpin who fi red 96-26-70 and her card featured three pars and a birdie on her outward 9-holes. The more difficult homeward nine proved trickier but another par and a birdie set her up for her 4-under par handicap score. Just two shots back were Lois Harvey and Marilyn Spencer, separated in that order by countback. A grade proved to be a two-way tussle for first place when Di Norman nudged out Julie Oldfi eld in a countback after both players carded 72 nett, four strokes ahead of their nearest challenger, Mel Bawden. Norman’s round of 92-20-72 included 9-hole sectional breaks of 47 and 45, while Oldfi eld posted nines of 39-43 for her excellent round. The good scores kept coming in the C grade ranks with Libby Furner playing consistently with a nett 73 in a round that included pars on the 13th and 18th holes. Heather Hadnum scored 76 nett to claim second place in a countback from Maureen Howe. In the corresponding 9-hole competition, Jennette Braun signed for a nett 30, which is a particularly low score for the 42 handicapper, although that mark has since been reduced to 40. Gloria Lennon was in second place with a nett 43, while nearest the pin prizes were won by Yvonne Shirley, Marilyn Spencer and Karen Forster. Coming events Today: 18-hole single par.
