A SMALL field of the Saturday ladies played for the Monthly Medal last week at the Hawks Nest Golf Club, including our visitors from Tuggerah GC.
In a great return to form, it was Carol Maher who came home the clear winner, four shots ahead of the field with a nett score of 68, with Sue Brownrigg runner up on 72.
Well played, ladies!
