THE Mount Gambier Golf Club held its club championships last week alongside a stableford round where 22 women competed in fine autumn conditions.
Hope Bliss claimed the victory on a count-back with her score of 36 points which included splits of 15 and 21.
Bliss was in fine form on the back nine and scored five three-pointers to seal the win.
Carol Davis was the unlucky golfer to lose the count-back despite playing very consistently all day.
Her 36 points came from even splits of 18 on both nines.
Jeannette Braun claimed third place with 34 points.
She stormed home on the inward nine with five three-pointers and scored 20 points to seal the final place on the podium.
The ball run-down went to Carol Smith and Di O’Donnell.
Bev Pedlar took home three balls for her pro shot on the par-three eighth hole, while Di Norman, Vicki Clark and Gail Watson were the winners on the par-five 17th hole.
The quarter-finals preceded the stableford competition and the winners in the Club Championship were Jennifer Van Rijthoven, Faye Mainwaring, Janina Morrison and Bernie Jennings.
In B Grade, Helen McIntyre will take on Penne Saffin, while Kate McCormick will face Braun in the semi-finals.
C Grade’s Betty McKechnie will play against Trudy Johnson, while Mary Kentish and Lizzie Clements will do battle.
