Agars defies weather conditions Blue Lake Golf Club ladies battle it out for Marlene Linghan Memorial Stableford Trophy

Once again Wednesday seems to be the better day of the week weather wise for a round of golf with the sun shining albeit the temperature still in single figures at the start.

Last Wednesday was the 2nd round of the Marlene Lingham Memorial Stableford Trophy at the Blue Lake Golf Club, kindly sponsored by the Blue Lake Bar and Bistro.

Heavy conditions underfoot were evident in the scores recorded except for the only person to come in with the score of the day and that was women’s secretary Sue Agars playing one under her handicap signing for 37 points.

A very clean card scoring on every hole included pars on the 3rd, 11th, 14th and 17th.

Agars is off a 20 handicap and her consistent nines of 19/18 saw her reap the reward winning a voucher as well as a ball for the best back nine score.

A two-way countback was required between Karen Panagopoulos and Rosemary Martland after both presenting with 30 points apiece.

The former winning second place having the better back-nine score. Panagopoulous off 26 had splits of 16/14 with pars on the 2nd and 9th holes and three three- pointers as well as three wipes. Martland off 17 had a mixed bag of wipes and one- pointers in her splits of 18/12 registering only one par on the 5th.

Division Two winner, vice president Lee Anderson, was the best scorer earning her top of the podium.

Anderson off 44 handicap also had a bit of everything in her 27 points with splits of 15/12 that did include four three-pointers.

Trudy Herbert off 30 managed 25 points from splits of 12/13 with three-pointers on the 4th and 10th holes good enough to win the second place voucher followed by Jaynee Oberer in third place with 21 points.

Nearest to the pin 2nd shot winners on the par three 16th were Josie Ashby (Div 1) and Trudy Herbert (Div 2).

The pro-shot winner was Ronda Edwards and Lynn Annand had a chip-in ferret on the 1st winning her a chocolate bar.
