Launceston Golf Club

Ladies Section

Competition — Thursday, January 24

SHOWERS didn’t keep the hardy ladies off the golf course last Thursday.

It should have been a Winter League competition but because of the conditions, the competition was reduced to 12 holes played in teams of three, one to all three scores to count consecutively.

The winning team was Liz Hicks, Barbara Murton and Beth Ratcliffe with 44 points from the team of Elizabeth Swords, Teona Chegwyn and Carole Hutchinson on 41.

Seniors Section

Three-man team event — Tuesday, January 22

ON A VERY cold and wet morning, the Seniors held a shotgun start three-man team competition with one score to count on each hole but with the bonus of two scores to count on one hole on each of the nine holes.

About a third of the teams came in early due to the weather.

Winners: Des Kelly, Frank Arscott and John Harris — 54pts; Runners-up: Dave Allan, Pat Hayne and Rob Loughran — 50pts; 3rd: Richard Dudley, Richard Garvin and Denis Scorey — 50pts; 4th: Dave Swanson, Gavin Torbett and Richard Boggis — 48pts

The ‘nearest the pin’ prizes were won by John Harris, Richard Garvin, Denis Scorey, John Skyrme and Des Kelly.
