The final event for the year on the Attamurra Wednesday ladies golf calendar was played last week.
More than 35 ladies played a stableford competition fighting for two hams and a Christmas pudding generously sponsored by fellow player Jennette Braun.
The prizes were big incentives to play well and Pauline Paterson did exactly that.
Playing off a 37 handicap Paterson started her game steadily before wiping on the fifth and seventh holes to finish her front nine for 17 points. Paterson then stepped up a notch on the homeward nine and gathered another 26 points which included two four pointers and a hat-trick of three pointers including a par on the final hole to take home a ham with a top score of 43 points.
Di O’Donnell’s round of 41 points including five pars produced a 20/21 split to take home the second prize of a ham. The Christmas pudding went to Anne Headlam with 37 points in third place after a three-way countback from Jennette Braun and Lorraine Stratford.
Eight ball run down winners needed 35 points or better to claim a ball while Jan Shanahan won the pro shot on the eighth hole. The prizes for the second shot on the par 3 sixteenth hole in A, B and C grades were won by Kerry Pedlar, Maxine McGregor and Mary Kentish respectively.
Over 20 ladies played a stableford competition last Saturday in warm conditions. The strong hitting Leanne Hunt played the homeward nine first and secured 20 points including a par on the par 4 14th.
At the halfway mark, Hunt kept her composure and parred three of the next five holes on the front nine before finishing with 40 points to finish in first place.
Betty McKechnie also played steady golf for an 18/18 split which included two pars on the 6th and 16th holes and a par on the testing 12th hole to finish runner up with 36 points. Ball rundown winners were Marie Douglas, Kerry Pedlar, Bernie Jennings, Chris Morrison, Sharran Waters, Pauline Paterson and Jennifer Van Rijthoven.
The pro shot winner on the eighth hole was Jennifer Van Rijthoven while Carol Smith was nearest the pin on the 16th hole.
Some upcoming holiday events include an Orange short course event on Monday, January 3 and an Irish Stableford 4 ball on Wednesday, January 26 2022.
