The first round of the 2022 Warwick RSL Ladies Mid-Week Medal was played on Wednesday (19/1) and unfortunately was plagued by that golfing unmanageable golfing hazard – weather.
The morning players enjoyed great conditions. Fine and sunny for the entire round. The afternoon players not so lucky, getting a drenching.
Unfortunately, it is often just the luck of the draw and at least one group failed to finish their last round.
Gwen Mills sank a great putt on the first for par to set herself up for a good round. Despite fading on the back nine, Mills finished with a nett 75 to be the best in Division One.
Jill Barnes was only one behind earning the runner’s-up voucher from the sponsors.
Ros Darton went one better in Division Two taking the win with 74 nett while Anne Lyons score of 76 nett was good enough to score the runner’s up prize for her Division. Mel McLennan and Marie Carey were on song with their putters. McLennan (24 putts), and Carey (28 putts) winners of the putting awards.
Yvonne Pinington scored a solid 35 nett to win the front nine trophy. Balls in the Run-Down went to Mel McLennan (78), Maria (76) and Kath Devereux (78 nett).
