14 Ladies arrived at the Millicent Golf Club to play a Par round, however, after a very heavy downpour, only 10 took to the course. Luckily the rain eventually cleared and there were some excellent scores returned by those who completed the 18 holes. Julie McKenzie won the Competition with 1 up, and also had the best score on the Front 9 holes to claim that prize as well. Second place was Bronwyn Clarke with 1 down and the reliable Sue Ireland was in third place with a score of 2 down. The Nearest to Pin Prizes were won by the Club, as no one played the perfect shot to the nominated greens. Next week’s competition is a Stroke Round, Monthly Medal, 2nd Round President’s Trophy, Final round Club & Grade Championships, Putting Competition, Long Drives for all Grades and IGA Supermarket Trophy. On Tuesday 5th September, the Millicent Golf Club Ladies are holding their Open Day, and taking on a new format in playing a Pinehurst Foursomes. We encourage Club Members and Visitors to nominate for the day, either by phoning the Clubhouse 87348124 or the Ladies Captain, Helen Chilton 0435 898 311, alternatively entries may be emailed to millicentgolfclub5@bigpond.com or helenchilton1@gmail.com. Great prizes will be on offer, thanks to the very generous sponsorship of Kimberly Clark Australia and DiGiorgio Family Wines.

Only six Ladies ventured to the Millicent Golf Course on Wednesday 16th August to play a Stableford Competition, where they were met with wild, wet and blustery conditions. After some contemplating, it was decided to brave the weather and play the Short Course from the Orange Tees. The group of six set off and the competition was fierce. There was no rain on the front nine, and Julie McKenzie returned a magnificent score of 22 points, Mardi Sunderland scored 21 and Kirsty Bailey 20. Two heavy showers of rain on the back nine made conditions a little tougher, however Kathy Sporer compiled an impressive 22 points, scoring 40 overall to win the Competition on a countback from Mardi Sunderland. Kirsty Bailey played a great shot on the 3rd hole, winning the Nearest to Pin and sinking her putt for a well deserved birdie. Mardi Sunderland won the Nearest to Pin on the 13th and Sue Ireland’s 2nd shot to the 17th won her a ball. Birdies were also achieved by Kathy Sporer on the 4th and 17th holes, Helen Chilton on the 12th and 17th and Julie McKenzie on the 5th. Next week’s competition is Par round.
