WONTHAGGI
Ladies 

IT WAS great to see faces at the course as 13 pairs were playing in the qualifying round for a Golf Australia event the Doris Chambers Cup.
 The winners will progress to the state final in Melbourne in October.
It was foursomes Stableford, so quite a challenging day.
The daily winners were Irene Walsh and Andrea Grenville, with a score of 30 points on countback from Catherine Bolding and Lisa Brusamarello also with 30 points.
With a twist in the story Irene and Andrea are unavailable for the final, so Catherine and Lisa will be representing Wonthaggi. 
These two were the winners last year but the final was cancelled due to COVID, so good karma to them.
Only two NTP were collected, 13th Marg Johnson and 17th Catherine Bolding.
BDL were given to Marg Ryan and Anne Poulton 28, Merryn Dear and Marg Johnson 27.
