“Strike three” doesn’t necessarily mean your “out”.
The ladies of the 18 hole division had a chance to make a home run between the rain drops with the ball sweep theme of “strike three”.
They got to subtract the total of their three worst holes from their total gross score. Marie Randall came running home with a score of 76. Teresa Cutting and Pat Nicklin tied for second with their score of 80. It was Teresa who took it by retrogression.
The Monthly Medal was in contention and was also a tie between Marie Randall and Katy Cyr. Here again retrogression was used to determine the winner and Randall took it.
Carol Bouchard had the challenge pin in her grasp and was challenged by Sandra Simpson. Bouchard retained it and has already been challenged by Gayle Rhodes for next Tuesday morning’s play. The real challenge here is to see who can keep the pin the longest.
Today’s low gross winner was Ilona McCleod with her score of 93. Low net was taken by Carol Hastings with her placing of 72.
Qualifying for the Zone 6, four-ball tournament to be played at Morningstar Golf Course on Aug. 8 are Team one: B-Jay Harper and Pat Nicklin, low net; team two: Carol Hastings and Shirley Goodman, low net; Team three:, Teresa Cutting and Claudia Romaniuk, low gross; Stand-by team, Sandra Simpson and Olga Kanigan.
