Mitcham Ladies – Away Leg
Result: Loss 3-1
It was a perfect, sunny day to play golf as Doreen Dolby, Julie Smith, Ann Gardner, Lia Donath, Tracy Wright, Louise Williams, Molly Hood and Jayne Maxwell went to Mitcham to play the away leg of the annual friendly.
Well done to Julie and Doreen who won their match but unfortunately, after hard fought matches, the other three games lost. It was a most enjoyable day, however, and we still have the opportunity to retain the trophy by winning our return match in August.
Thank you to everyone who played.

The competition doubled as the NAPGC Stableford qualifier and entrants are indicated on the results sheet.
Men’s CSS was reduced from SSS 37 points to 36 points with 2 changes to playing handicaps.
Students of handicapping will be interested to know that Toby Hunt had 3 scores for the day since he signed for a higher score at a hole than actually taken:
- 33 points off his natural handicap for handicap record purposes
- 32 points for men’s NAPGC (competition result off natural handicap)
- 31 points for Shaw Cup (competition result with shot deducted to determine result for mixed handicap)
Who said handicapping was supposed to be simple!
