The 108 Ladies Golf Club’s Ice Breaker Tournament at the 108 Golf Resort on May 5 attracted 28 golfers who played under the par points/Stableford format.
The skies were bright and sunny as were the smiles on the faces of those who competed in the tourney last year in cold blustery conditions.
When the last score card was handed in, the top 10 players were: Janet Roux, first; Rene Zelt, second; Linda Hames, third; Lori Henderson, fifth; Gloria Corno, fifth; Eileen King, sixth; Pauline Weigelt, seventh; Marie Weeden, eighth; Carol Ohlund, ninth; and Char Wahnschaff, 10th.
The long putt winner was Marian Lines
Long drive winners: Roux, first flight; Ann Pinkney, second flight; and Gisela Neuber, third flight.
Club changes
Club vice-captain Maureen Pinkney says the Ladies Club is working hard to increase the number of women showing up for Ladies Day.
The club is introducing a new novice flight, she adds.
“This will be for ladies who don’t have a handicap, have not played much or are just beginning.”
They will have their own prizes in their flight just as the other flights do, Pinkney explains.
“We really want to see more ladies out for Ladies Day and the course is on great shape.”
Another change allows players to book their own tee times at the pro shop and play with the ladies they want to golf with, Pinkney notes.
“Or you can just phone in and they will let you know when there is an open tee time or who you can join. This is very different than before, as last year, it was a random draw done by the club captain.”
She adds it’s hoped more ladies will feel comfortable playing with people they know rather than with a stranger.
The main Ladies Day starts at 1 p.m., and the women golf 18 holes, with the first nine counting for Ladies Day event. This followed by dinner in the Tatton Room
There is also a 10 a.m. start for those who cannot make the 1 p.m. tee time, and a business ladies group that goes out on the course at 5-5:30.
“We certainly want to see more ladies join. We have weekly game prizes and weekly door prizes at the dinner.
“It is a great time, great golf, and great socializing.”
