Women's Golf

The Champagne Breakfast held on the 29th September with an Hawaiian theme was a great success. The beautifully decorated dining room astounded all, and it was pleasing to see the clubhouse full. Thank you to all members who supported this event. We raised $1797, an excellent reward for all the planning and effort that went into the day.

The Mount Shield played on 21st October at Mt. Osmond was for the 4th consecutive time won by Mt. Lofty. Well done Ladies!

Congratulations to Celia Fowler and Pauline Nietz for coming Runners-Up (on a count back) in the WGSA State Wide Shylie Rymill Handicap Foursomes.

Mt. Lofty hosted the Stableford round of the WGSA Open Country Week on 17th October when 40 ladies played. Our committee received favourable comments from visitors who took part regarding the course and the warm welcome from our Lady Members.

How About This!

1. The ducks on the lake had a single duckling family for a short time a couple of weeks ago. The poor little character could be seen racing back and forth with the adults that were being fed. The little legs were doing windmills, something like the 'roadrunner' of cartoon fame, as it tried to keep up. Sad to say it lasted only days before disappearing, probably down the gullet of a raven.
2. The trees have been felled to make way for the new 7th tee. Construction will begin before long.
3. "Chicken Runs" are on again with daylight saving. Enjoy the fun and companionship of these front or back nine comps. They occur during twilight hours, about three weekly on Fridays. Stay for a meal and a bottle afterwards. Book a four or join a four at the pro shop.
4. Play on Saturdays? Don't forget to play the holes in sequence. There are no times off on the 17th, at least for the time being.

For "free" relief the player must drop the ball within one club length of the nearest point of relief from where the ball lay on the path. He is entitled to relief from the path/gutter only. Instead he may play the ball as it lies or take a penalty Unplayable Lie (and go back on line or replay the stroke or drop within 2 club lengths)
