THURLESTONE Golf Club’s ladies took on a matchplay competition on Wednesday, November 4, in very windy weather with gusts over 30mph.

The ladies were divided into two teams called the Sparklers and the Firecrackers. The individual matches could choose how many holes they wanted to play. Due to the cold windy weather, many chose just nine holes.

On Saturday, November 7, 55 men, ladies and juniors signed up for the stableford competition played off the white tees or red tees. There were two divisions to be played for 0-18 and 19-54 handicaps.

The winner of the 0-18 division was Gary Jones with 39 points from David Doyle, who also had 39 points.

Nikki Smith topped the 19-54 division with 37 points and her closest challenger was Suzanne Massingham, on 34. There were 14 birdie twos scored so congratulations to all of those players.
