Again play was in very hot conditions and the best score was recorded by Lyn with 36 points and she also won the NTP on the 2nd/11th.
Marie Murray continued some good form to have 32 points and take the winner’s prize, with Wendy Clift landing the runner’s up on 30 points.
Balls went to Julie Leckie and Narelle Rutter, and a few lucky colourful players were rewarded for their efforts too.
A few of the ladies were a little weary after three games in Orange during the week, but all enjoyed the three courses.
Today, the ladies will play the first of three rounds of Par for the Ruth Wallace Trophy.
The daily sponsor is Doon MacCallum.
On April 2 the second Monthly Medal will be played.
The Scone men played an 18 Hole Stableford for the Blooms Group Trophy last Saturday.
In welcome cooler conditions but with a very strong wind gusting to over 50kph, the going was tough.
The A Grade winner, with the best score of the day, was David Spies with 38 points.
B Grade went to Brad Hockley on 36 points, whilst newcomer Tony Bowd had 37 points to win C Grade. The NTP on the 2nd/11th went to the only player to land on the green, an indicator of the degree of difficulty. Ross Banks’ shot to 6.92 metres was good enough, but on the 8th/17th Adrian Fuller won a jackpot of 12 balls for landing inside a metre at 40 centimetres!
Ball winners were David Spies 38, Tony Bowd 37, Brad Hockley 36, Jim Elder 35, Geoff Ferguson 34, Red Palmer, Adrian Fuller and John Kevans all on 33.
In the ladies stableford, Julie Leckie had the best score with 33 points in the blustery weather.
This Saturday, an 18 Hole Stableford for the Steve Morse, Alan Wood and Col Solway Trophy will be played, and then a stroke/stableford event for the Monthly Mug on April 4 will be played.
Players need to get organised for one of the only mixed events during the season with the playing of the GNSW Mixed Keno 4BBB Par Scone event to be held on Sunday.
Qualifiers can progress to the HRDGA playoff at Denman on June 21 with a chance to head to Bonville later in the year if successful.
Also on Easter Monday a bit of fun can be had by men and ladies with a chance to play off each other’s tees!
The Red and Blue Tee Challenge 18 Hole Stableford, with handicap adjustments, will be played.
Members should note that a printed program book for Scone Golf is in production and the yearly program for men and ladies can also be found on the club’s website at www.sconegolf club.com.au
