Two ladies post major scores at Ainsdale; glorious morning for senior men

The early morning rain didn't deter the Ainsdale ladies from their game at Ainsdale Golf Course. The plan was, either play-on or reschedule for the afternoon sunny skies.

Ethel McDonald blew down the flags on the front nine, carding a career-best 42 strokes for 33 Stableford points.

Heather Struthers was best player in her flight with a season-best 46 strokes.

The top two for Stableford points this week, by flight, were:
 

• A - Barb Grubb 18,  Maureen Peet 16
• B - Anne Burton 20, Sandy Petter 20
• C - Heather Struthers 25,  Shirley Thomas 22
• D - Ethel McDonald 33,  Jeanette Bellan  21
• E - Barb McBride  25,  Jan Kelly  23

The low putters for the day were  Maureen Peet 15,  Cindy Schmidt 16,  Jean Rhude 15,  Maureen Charette 17 and Brenda Grant 17.

The lucky draw winners of the certificates donated by Ainsdale Golf Course, courtesy of Charles and Taylor Candler, sponsors for the day, were Brenda Grant, Wendy Gardner, Muriel Cochrane, Pat Emmerton, Michele Lanthier, Jean Rhude, Sandy Petter, Ruth Johnston, Barb Lansink and Shirley Cole.

SENIOR MEN'S LEAGUE

It was another glorious morning for the Senior Men's Scramble at Ainsdale, Wednesday, with the team of Murray Wardell, Garry Skelding, Steve Hammill and Harold Maurer heading the field with a fine score of minus-five on the front nine. 

One stroke back, in second place, was the group of Dave Blenkinsop, Phil Thompkins, Bill Stewart and John Farrell.
