The 108 Golf Resort greens hosted another club championship this weekend - this time for the ladies.
Over the course of a cool and slightly overcast weekend, 25 members of the 108 Ladies Club brought out their drivers and putters for a friendly competition. They played for money, bragging rights, a coveted parking spot and a bottle of wine.
Winning the championship with an overall low gross score of 183 was Nicki Hansen, alongside Wendy Foster’s overall low net score of 146. Both winners received $50 and a bottle of wine to take home.
Four birdies were scored over the course of the weekend with two of them made Saturday by Shannon Knapp and Lorraine Scott and a further two netted by Sarah Porterfield and Wanda Wallace. The lone hole-in-one of the championship went to Teresa Francis on Hole 4.
On Saturday, the ladies competed to see who had the longest drive and who could get their balls closest to the pin (K P’s) for $10 each. In the first flight, Hansen had the longest drive on Hole 3, Leslie Bell had the longest on Hole 2 for the second flight and in the third flight, Ann Pinkney had the best drive for Hole 1. When it came to being close to the pin, Scott took the prize in the first flight on Hole 10, while on Hole 15 the second’s flight Knapp claimed victory while Ann Pinkney once more won on Hole 12.
Sunday, meanwhile, saw the club keep track of their longest putts as well their K P’s. For K P’s, Maureen Pinkney, Janet Roux and Pauline Weigelt all took first in their flights on Hole 4. For long putts, the first flight saw Hansen take the win on Hole 11, Laverne Martin in the second flight sank the win on Hole 16 and Cheryl Eckert did the same on Hole 17.
Overall low gross scores for the tournament as a whole included Maureen Pinkney 186, Roux 194, Ann Pinkney 216, Porterfield 196, Knapp 196 and Georgie Westbrook 219. For low net scores, there was Scott 147, Angela Batalha 147, Weigelt 154, Carla Tetreau 161, Leslie Bell 150 and Darlene DeAngelis 165.
