A relatively small but enthusiastic group of women turned out for the first game of the 2012 season for the Crown Isle Ladies Golf Club.
Initially, opening day was to have been last week but the weather didn’t cooperate – this week it did. The game was Three Clubs and a Putter, an individual game where each player must designate only three clubs she will play throughout the round, in addition to the putter.
First low gross went to Katy Macaulay at 86 and second low gross to Dee Horie at 90. There was a two-way tie for first low net with Brenda Barrigan and Carol Ann Roulston at 74 while Patricia Chalmers was second low net with a 78. KPs went to Dee Horie (#4) and July Aldcroft (#12). Carol Ann Roulston birdied #1.
It was a nice day and the Crown Isle course is in great shape. We’re all looking forward to a successful and fun-filled season of golf.
Team best ball
On April 10, Comox Ladies Golf game was a team best ball. Nine groups teed off at 9 a.m. and the team with the low net score consisted of Phyllis Taylor, Mary Ann Aikman and Vicky Edwards. Second place went to Grace Coulter, Barb Buchanan and Marva Opperman.
Rosalie Williams and Marva Opperman had the longest drives, and Buchan Mahon and Phyllis Taylor earned KP prizes (closest to the pin on the par 3s). Amber Dufour had the longest putt.
Next Tuesday, our fun game will be to throw out the worst three holes. We hope to see all the ladies and their guests at the club at 8:30 for a 9 a.m. start.
We would like to thank our sponsors: Sprinklers, Doug Petrie Golf, Panago Pizza and Loonyrama for their support of the Comox Ladies Golf Club.
On May 3, the Thursday Night Ladies League will begin. This league is open to all lady golfers, members and non-members. It is a nine-hole stroke-play format and prizes are awarded for low gross, low net and various KPs.
