Gregory carded 40 off the stick on the front nine and 45 off the stick on the long back nine for 85 off the stick, including one birdie, seven pars and importantly no wipe-outs.
Second place went to Jennifer Van Ritjhoven (15) playing one-under her handicap with 37 points.
Jennifer’s split for the two nines was 44/43 for 87 off the stick and included five three-pointers.
First place in Division 2 went to long-standing member Linley Gray (43), who has been rewarded with her persistence to return to the golfing scene.
Gray had 18/17 for 35 points, including four three-pointers.
Libby Furner (36) claimed second place in Division 2 with 32 points, consisting of 17/15 on the front and back nines.
