The women golfers annual Pink Day on Sunday, raising funds for breast cancer, had all players dressed for the day looking ‘pretty in pink’. 

The winners were Daphne Cross, Chrissy Gilligan and Fay Hardwick with a team score of 35 points. The individual placings were a tight affair and after a five-way countback Fay Hardwick got the nod over Barb Barklimore, Chrissy Gilligan, Ann Dunn and Pam Sikora.

All recorded 36 points. Janet Place was next on 35 followed by Janine Ryan with 34.

Angela Fryer and Brenda Fugar won Nearest the Pin prizes on the 8th and 15th holes respectively and were also both part of the best dressed team on the day with Barb Barklimore. (Their pink curly wigs giving them the win.)

At last a Wednesday game was played in the women’s golf schedule last week with no sign of rain. The Par event went ahead and was won by Di Greer with a score of -1.

Pat Polack and Sally Bannister needed a countback to determine second place when both finished with -2. Joy Josephson came home with -3 for 4th place.

Di Greer and Fay Hardwick picked up Nearest the Pin prizes on the 3rd and 15th holes.

The 4-Ball-Best-Ball game on Saturday was taken out by Karen Manns and Angela Fryer with 43 points followed by Chrissy Gilligan and Fay Hardwick, with 41 points.

Janine Ryan and Marlene Wynd held off Sally Bannister and Pam Sikora in a countback (both teams had 39 points each).  Angela Fryer took the pin prize on the 7th hole and Mellissa Dunne claimed the prize on the 11th.

Today will be a stroke game and a Par is set down for Saturday which is also a Trophy Day.

The Foursomes Club Championships will kick off at 10am on Sunday for the 27 hole event so get your partners organised now.

Two Cobar teams consisting of Ann Dunn and Jannine Wilkin along with Sue-Ellen Dunne and Chrissy Gilligan will this Friday take on 40 other teams from all over central and western NSW in the Western Districts Ladies Golf Association final of the NSW 4-Ball-Best-Ball Classic. To be played as a Par event at Tottenham, the winners will go on to play at Bonville near Coffs Harbour.

Trangie will try again to hold their Open on Tuesday after it was postponed due to rain earlier in the year.—T’d Off
