It is a wee bit scary how rapidly the 2011 season is passing by. Tuesday, Aug. 2 was the fourth Pin Day in a series of six for the Crown Isle Ladies golf club, with the low net winner from each of the six being eligible for RCGA, BCGA and Zone awards.
This day’s low net went to Brenda Barrigan for her 68, while Helen Flynn and Katy Macaulay tied for second at 69. Jenny Steel had the low gross of 79 and Marilyn McCusker was second with 81. Val Dingwall and Gillian Kirkpatrick tied for low putts with with just 29 while Brenda Barrigan was second with 30.
KPs went to Jenny Steel on #4 and Katy Macaulay on #12. There was a flock of birdies: Brenda Barrigan #16, Val Dingwall #14, Shirley Ketter #18, May Mitchell #11 and #13, Mathilde Schneider #11, Eveline Shaw #17, Jenny Steel #4, #8 and #10.
Once again Barb Guthrie was on hand providing much-appreciated refreshments to the women coming off the 16th green. All in all, it was a great start to the month of August and congratulations to all those who participated.
