By Sandy Lye The Lucindale Lady Golfers struck the jackpot last Wednesday with a fine day so no excuses for bad scores on account of the weather were heard. Naracoorte Homemakers were the sponsors of a stroke round and Fionna McInnes had a day to remember coming in with a tremendous net 66 (including a par on the long par 5 18th!) to take out the B division from Petrina Smith who returned a net 73. Petrina had a good day on the par 3s taking home the ball for nearest on the 12th and 16th (in 2 -B grade). Nicole Hocking continued her good form of late coming in the top 2 for the 3rd week in a row with net 70 closely followed one shot behind by Megan Watson. Nicole had the best score off the stick for the day – 87. One golfer (?) who shall remain […]

By Bridging the Gap On Thursday we played 6 tables using 24 boards, so once again were able to head to the small room where it was warm.  Winners playing North/South were Ruth Dennis and Jill Perkins and East/West were Helen Edwards and Margie Porter who scored an amazing 68.91%, so well done to them especially as they had not partnered before. Interesting hands today and after I had a message from one of the players asking me why had they not scored when they had won the board, I had a bit of a tally of the boards we played and this had occurred twice in today’s play.  Both times it affected the East/West players. On board 21 the contract was won by two South bidders and two North bidders, no-one made their contracts, going down either by 2 or 3 tricks, giving their opponents  3 or 7 points.  […]

By Amelie Nancarrow Under 13’s Dartmoor 3 defeated Greenbottles 0 Dartmoor goals: Mason White (3) Dartmoor best: Mason White, Eddie Dolphin Greenbottles best: Toby boord, Jada Copping, Henry fry With a top of the table clash and bragging rights leading into the finals it was shaping up to be a great contest between Dartmoor and Greens on Saturday. The grey clouds came in and it started to rain but that did nothing to dampen the spirits of all players. Despite the weather, it was a fast start with both teams getting out of the blocks quickly. The first quarter finished even but Dartmoor had the momentum. Once the rain had cleared early into the second quarter, Dartmoor showed their quality all around the pitch with fast ball movement and a lot of circle penetrations. The defence for Greenbottles was working overtime to keep them at bay. With very few opportunities […]
