Our Bargara girls made the short trip into and across town for the Bundaberg Ladies Open Day on Sunday the 19th. Winner of the overall Open Day competition was our very own Kasee Marxsen with a score of 80 (71 Nett). Most people would have been delighted to have won this but apparently, according to our reporter on the ground, Kasee was still moaning about her bogey on the last hole!! We will forgive you that bogey Kasee. In Division 2 Jenice Caflisch picked up runners up spot with a solid Nett 74, well done girls.

The Monthly Medal competition for July was held on Thursday the 12th in near perfect conditions, with the greens playing pretty quickly. A large field, but only two divisions, means there were only two Winners this month. Picking up the gold in Division 1 with an incredible 65 was Carolyn Mason – you must have putted well Carolyn, beating runner up Marg Taylor by a Tigeresque 9 shots! In Division 2 the winner, with a Nett 70, was Kay Nicholls pipping runner up Sallie Wake by 1 shot. It is great to see a Leftie among the winners. Well done girls.

Two contrasting days weather wise – a warm Saturday followed by a cold windy Sunday –  greeted the players for the GWB Ladies Open and Closed Event held at Bargara Golf Club. A large turn out saw some quality golf with the overall Open and Closed Champion being Kate McFarlane from Bundaberg with a 2 round total, just 2 over par, of 148. A Grade Winner, 4 shots back from Kate, was Isabella Artchua (152) also from Bundaberg. B Grade Champion was our very own Carolyn “One Putt” Mason on 192 winning by 3 shots from Kim Groves. C Grade Stableford winner was Bargara’s Allison Jackson with 80 Stableford points cruising home by 6 from runner up Kay Dodds. In the Nett events Mariam Hemsley took out A Grade with a total of 144 by 1 shot from Raelee Marxsen. B Grade Nett winner was Chris Bloem on (148) winning comfortably by 6 shots from Del Hartfiel (154). Well done to Kate and all the winners. A full list of all the winners, runners up and places as well as pinshots and rundowns will be available on Monday on our Golf Results webpage.

In the final round of Pennants matches for 2018, held at Hervey Bay, our Bargara Ladies came away with a win against ISIS. Although Bundaberg lost to Maryborough it was not quite enough to secure the title for Bargara – missing out by a mere half a point. Final standings are :-

1. Bundaberg 18 pts
2. Bargara 17.5 pts
3. Maryborough 14.5 pts
4. Hervey Bay 14 pts
5. ISIS 6 pts
