Another great field of 47 ladies played in Tuesday\u2019s Stableford round in fine conditions, with a very<\/p>\n
welcome sea breeze keeping temperatures down. Scores were very close over the field, with just 5<\/p>\n
shots separating the top 20 finishers. But the day belonged to Fran Henderson, who finished with<\/p>\n
the best overall score of 39 and 1 st in B Grade, including her first ever birdie on the 16 th , as well as<\/p>\n
snagging NTP on the 5 th . Sari McDonald also scored a birdie on the 7 th , and Jo Scott had a chip in on<\/p>\n
the 18 th . Spare a thought for Maxine Mitchell, whose great tee shot on the 10 th fell just 1 cm short of<\/p>\n
winning the eagles nest, which must be within 50 cm of the hole. She claimed the NTP instead. Well<\/p>\n
played, ladies!<\/p>\n
