Joy Josephson, Daphne Cross and Jannine Wilkin combined well to finish with 67 1/2 net to take third spot from Robynne Morton, Susan Goonrey and Di Slater after their team came in on 67 2/3 net.
The learners Nearest the Pin prize on the 8th hole was won by Maree Hilton while Pat Polack had a Nearest the Pin win on the 15th hole.

The year’s biggest week of the women’s golf competition starts today with a Stableford round and another Stableford will be played on Friday. Easter Saturday’s game is a Par Mulligan (six shots) and on Easter Sunday a Stableford game will be played. To round off the big week, a two person Ambrose is set down for Monday for those who haven’t had enough dust and wind for the week!—T’d Off
