Wednesday, Nov. 29, Green Valley – Monthly Medal
We had 18 ladies play in the comp today, with Miss Pin, recording 9 pars and 1 birdie to come in fourth with a net 70. Miss Lynn benefitted from 2 birdies on the back nine to have a net 68 and third place while for the second week running Miss Nu had the lowest score with 39 on the back nine for a net 67. This was the same score as Miss Som whose back 6 was 1 better than Miss Nu so was today’s winner.
