Sheila proves a popular winner at Lady Captain’s Day

The Lady Captain, Gil Colvin was glad to see a dry day forecast with slightly lower temperatures than in recent days.

There was a large turnout of members competing for a glorious array of prizes with a watch as the main prize and silver and glass forming the theme of the remainder of the prizes.

The ladies and visitors were welcomed with a glass of well deserved Pimms and enjoyed a beautiful meal prepared by Albert and served by Jane and her team.

Announced to great acclaim, the winner of the Captain’s Prize was Mrs Sheila Cromie playing off a handicap of 19. As a long time member, Sheila was a very popular winner, scoring 39 points and going to show that age is no barrier to good golf and effective course management.

The Gross prize was won by Janice Wallace with Ann Gowan taking the front nine prize and Hazel McNally taking the back nine, each with 20 points.

The Committee prize went to Valerie Rooney and the Past Captain’s prize to Ann Shane, with Beth Kee taking the nine hole honours.

In the spot prizes, nearest the pin at the 6th went to Julie Robinson and the 18th went to Doreen Green (from Valerie Rooney) and nearest the line was won by Iris Orr. The putting prize was won by Brenda Maxwell and Linda Symington was the only competitor with a two.
