Ronda Edwards took home the Division 1 and monthly medal win after a strong performance which ended in her finishing with a score of 87/15/72.

Edwards scored 39 off the stick to come with a birdie on the 11th hole and pars on the 14th, 15th and 16th holes.
Sue Agars and Helen Stratford mirrored one another’s scorecards as they both signed for 92/19/73 with splits of 46/46.
In the count-back Agars claimed second-place while Stratford had to settle for third.
Agars had pars on the first, second, fifth, 12th and 16th holes, while Stratford managed a par on the dog-leg ninth hole and a birdie on the 12th.
Recent 2023 Division 2 handicap champion Jo Gogan continued her strong form and took home another win after finishing with a score of 111/35/76.
It was a consistent performance from Gogan as she finished with splits of 57 and 54.
Rose Case was a narrow runner-up with a score of 114/38/76, which included a par on the par-three second hole.
