By Bridging the Gap The Naracoorte Bridge Club is a great opportunity to play competitive bridge however it’s also nicely social & this was highlighted when our venue was unavailable recently & at the 11th hour & our quick thinking President, Jill Redway generously offered her home for the 22 players.  Our members are also indebted to Sue Hood who continues to offer the odd workshop, last week it was about how to best play a No Trump hand & it was heartening that 2 players used their lesson well on Thursday at the club.  Well done to Yvonne Hegarty & Mary Lush who both separately bid No Trump hands, achieved their contracts & top scored in their direction. Twenty ladies played last week, N/S winners were Jenny Clark and Rosie Legoe followed by Christine McDonald (special birthday girl) and Helen Cox.  Congratulations to E/W winners Janet Ottoson and Sylvia […]

By Sally MacLeod Last Wednesday, 18 ladies competed in a Par round very generously sponsored by Sweet Expresso. The winners received lovely gift boxes which they were delighted with. A big thank you to Aimee and her husband for sponsoring the ladies competition. Par is a very non-forgiving competition and the scores certainly reflected this! Di McCully, playing beautiful golf once again (if only we could all be as consistent as her!), won the A grade with +1 and she also scored a nearest the pin on the 16 th hole. The runner up was yours truly with – 3! This reflected the scoring on the day! The B grade winner was Susie Mort with -1 on a count back from Di Mcinnes and Mary Staude. Di and Mary were therefore recipients of golf balls in the ball rundown. Nearest the pin on the 7 th , sponsored by Naracoorte […]

By Max Clifford A good field of 66 went to Millicent’s course on a fine winters day, including 5 of our Victorian  neighbours, but they all found the course hard to score on, with 36 points the best in  both Divisions. In First, Bill Mullan, a local, won from Mark Pilmore 34, counting out Milan Hodak 34. Second Div went to Rob “Tank” Thompson 36, from Dennis Smith 34, and Bobby Davies 33. The ball rundown was to 28, and the Ross Orchard trophy winners were Brian Foreman and Ian Todd. The NTP’s were Noel Chant, Lindsay Storer and Simon Browning. Barry Brook gleefully snaffled the Scotch. We next visit Robe on July 31 followed by Blue Lake, August 14 and Mt Gambier on Aug 28.  “Got the Snake”
