It was a hot day on the course last Wednesday, both weather and scoring.
19 of the 58 ladies who played the Murray Course scored 37 or more Stableford points which makes even getting a ball difficult.
A Grade winner was Louise Cross (18) with 44 points, just holding off Kirri Davis (9) with 43.
B Grade winner was Melissa Moat (31) with 43 points with Jenny Luke (36) closely behind on 42.
