And \u201cthat\u2019s all folks!\u201d<\/p>\n With all 10 rounds complete, Anne Ward has been working those excel spread sheets to determine the 2023 Putting and Consistency Grade winners. There were a few variables to consider, due to the Green\u2019s replacement program, so it has been a challenging task. The winners will be announced\/rewarded at our 2023 Ladies Annual Meeting. Sincere thanks to all the Lady Member Sponsors who have already sorted or are in the process of organizing their 2023 Prizes\/Awards. <\/p>\n Charity Day \u2013 Thurs Oct 19TH<\/sup><\/strong> – Congrats to Adele and her fund-raising crew for putting on a fabulous \u201cOne Club Prostate Cancer Charity Event\u201d. The final amount raised will be announced by Adele at the LAM, where we will present the cheque to the Harry Perkins Prostate Cancer Research Institute. Sincere thanks and \u2018hats off\u2019 to our Lady members who have, as always, been so incredibly generous and supportive. And with the input and support from our men members, this has truly been an \u201call in\u201d successful event.<\/p>\n Our 12 Hole Novelty Day played on Nov 2nd<\/sup> <\/strong>was a relaxed, fun fixture and sincere thanks for the way you all embraced the day, particularly the challenge of teeing off from the Blue tees. Playing a \u201cteam spirited\u201d\u2019 4 ball Ambrose was a hoot, as was driving off the 1st<\/sup> tee with the classic \u201cWooden\u201d club. Nina King made it look easy, sending her ball flying down the fairway. Noelene Firth and Cheryl Haines both had \u201cchampagne golf\u201d moments. Photo evidence is attached of Cheryl\u2019s \u201cBall in Tree Trunk\u201d shot \u2013 outstanding effort to equal Helen Constable\u2019s Club Champs effort. And Noelene launched her ball into outer space with a precision drive perfectly into the middle of a Ladies Red Tee marker. We now understand why many of our men folk don\u2019t make it past the Ladies Tees.<\/p>\n Sincere congrats to the \u201cWinner Grinners\u201d – a 9\/18 Hole Member combo of Kerrin Thomas, Tracy Johnson and two new 9 Hole recruits, Jen Collins and Andrea Coupar. They won by a few strokes and looked splendid in their Wiggles colours. And special congrats to Kerrin for landing her tee shot on the 9th<\/sup> green from the Men\u2019s Blue tees. The rest of us will just dream on! <\/p>\n And a special mention and thanks to Matt Sturmer for sorting the results using the old-fashioned manual method due to the MiScore system not appreciating our 13 Hole Stroke event! And thanks Dane for the wild Squiggly line on Hole 18, that perfectly accommodated my line and length! Yeehaa, I won a nice pink hat!<\/p>\n COMING UP \u2013 Thursday November 16th<\/sup>.
