Heavy fairways make for tough going

THE third round of the Hudson Plumbing trophy saw 25 women compete in a stableford competition last week at the Attamurra golf course.

Despite cool, sunny conditions, good scores were hard to come by, with heavy fairways and tricky pin placements.

However, Jennifer Van Rijthoven took it in her stride and was the only player to score under her handicap, with 40 points to claim the win.

Van Rijthoven blitzed the front nine holes with 37 off the stick, which included two birdies, before adding another birdie on the 12th hole to finish with a 23/17 split.

Bev Pedlar only had one wipe to finish runner-up with 34 points from Jennette Braun on a count-back from Denise Harvey with 32 points.

Ball run-down winners included Harvey, Karen Forster and Pauline Paterson, both 30 points and Helen McIntyre, 29 points.

Harvey’s drive on the eighth hole rewarded her with a birdie and the pro shot prize.

Special prizes for the second shot, long drive on the first hole was won by Van Rijthoven in A Grade, Janina Morrison taking home the B Grade prize and the second shot in C Grade went to Mary Kentish.
