 Congratulations go to Sarah Kirby (Ranfurly Castle)
who had the best scratch score of the day and the only player to
break 80. Despite having a 9 at the 8th, she was out in 39 and then came
back in 40 for a gross 79. Playing off a handicap of 10 meant she
had a net 69 winning the Scratch - 12 handicap award. Under the 19.8 stableford adjustment rule the 9 is converted to an 8 and with the CSS being 75 for the day, Sarah was 7 under for handicap purposes and is therefore cut by 1.4 ----- Well done Sarah. Liz Williamson (Ranfurly
Castle) was the winner of the Handicap 13 and above division with a net 71. |
