Marie Randall held the much coveted Challenge Pin and it was a face-off between her and Shannon Haggard with Shannon breaking free and taking the honours...Who will it be next week? Pat Nicklin, hoo-hoo, that should be a match.
Carol Bouchard had a lights out game shooting an 86. Teresa Cutting had an equally nice game carding a Low Net of 68.
The Ball Sweep today was all about KP’s...that means “Closest to the Pin” for all you non-golfers. Illona McLeod took the KP No.17 while Doreen Grant scooped the KP on No. 4; KP on the second shot on No. 6 went to Pat Nicklin while B-J Harper closed in on the second shot on No. 13 for that KP.
The Master’s Cup eliminations concluded today and the winners were; A Division: Patsy Gauthier with runner-up, Kathy White.
B Division: Teresa Cutting with runner-up, Sandra Simpson(these two had to play an extra six holes to determine the winner so it must have been a very tight game).
Anne Brookes had a hole in one on Monday, July 25th on hole No. 2. She was awarded her “Hole-In-One” Pin, at this mornings golf.
