Wednesday, Feb. 27, Green Valley – Medal

Taking 3rd spot in the Ladies comp was Phin Stewart with a net 72 off her 10 handicap. 2nd place went to Eng Cotterell with a net 70 off her 16 H/C but she was just pipped at the post by Saipin Woollett with 69 net off her 21 handicap. There were four 2s by the ladies, coming from Miss Poopay, Miss Julie, Miss Eng and Miss Phin.

In the men’s competition there were the usual stories about missed putts but that was down to the player not the greens.
