Ladies

Drizzle overhead and squelchy conditions underfoot did not bode well. But that didn’t seem to bother Sheena Harrington who took the honours with 36 points, which with an increase of two in the CSS, earned her a 0.3 reduction to lower her playing handicap to 14. Jane Fraser was second on 32 points. Results…

The associated Eclectic shows a similar picture with Sheena three shots ahead of Jane after two rounds. R2 Leader board…

Mike Shabani joined the Eagle Tree with the shortened 14th. Results…
