Saturday 21st November 2009

Despite drizzly conditions, Biviana Gilson (pictured left) played an amazing first 9 holes on The Old Course at The National.

Play for the rest of the scheduled 36-hole final was fairly even, but Biviana's brilliant start was too much even for Kerry who is a reknowned "come from behind" competitor. Congratulations to both players for such excellent golf. Congratulations too to Fiona Law who won the B Grade championship, defeating Meredith Ramadan.

QUEENS OF THE RIP

September 17th 2009

A highlight at The Dunes is the bi-ennial visit from the13th Beach golfers. The team trophy for the best 20 scores from each club is traditionally won by the home side, and so The Dunes won this year. Next yearat 13th Beach will probably be different.

The individual trophy and the beautiful tiara were won this year by Nola Brooke-Ward (pictured top right) from 13th Beach with a fine score of 40 points. As the weather was appalling - rain all day - her score and that of the runner-up Rhonda Harrison from The Dunes (39 points) were excellent. Rhonda was the leading Dunes player, on a count-back from Mary Ann Elson, also on 39.
