CHARITY STABLEFORD RESULTS
The weather was absolutely appalling for all the ladies yesterday morning. The rain was torrential and most ladies were so wet they came off the course to dry off. Only a very few played on. The evening players, although very windy, were luckier in that the rain had stopped and one member in particular had a fantastic round. Alexandra Bushby returned a score of 39 points. As Alex only has a handicap of 2 her gross score was 71, one under par. A fantastic score so early in the season. Well done Alex.
The results were as follows:
CSS 72
Alex Bushby (2) 39
Sheena Scott (12) 36 bih
Jackie Moran (24) 36
Jane Taylor (12) 35
Well done all.
