Ladies

Most of the ladies made heavy going of the late September sunshine combined with a blustery wind resulting in a reduction only round (for handicapping purposes).

After a few weeks’ absence, Sonia Inniss returned in winning form with a net 74, to beat Sheena Harrington by one shot, with another welcome returner, Louise Williams, just one further shot back on 76. Results…
 
Hot off the press and showing us all the way to play was Val Riziotis who qualified for the final of the NAPGC Stableford at St. Andrews today. Playing off her newly reduced handicap of 20, Val recorded a brilliant 36 points to win the overall net runner-up prize. Huge congratulations to Val for a magnificent result!
