After the second round of the Ladies Championships, it is a close tussle at the top of the leaderboard.
Natalie Grimshaw has taken the lead with a lovely round this week of 83 off the stick to lead with a total for the 2 rounds of 170, from Sheryl Sargent 174 and Andrea Marsden 175.
Sue Parsons continues to lead B Grade by a slim margin with 195, from Millie Cumming on 197, while Shirley Nolan has one hand firmly on the C Grade trophy with 199 from next best, Glenis Skininer on 209.
A similar story for Pauline Ahola in D Grade who leads in that grade by 16 shots from Susan Kinloch.
But all eyes will be on the overall leaders as they head down the finishing straight this Wednesday – good luck ladies.
For the daily comp on Wednesday, it was no surprise to see Natalie Grimshaw take home the money winning overall and A Grade with nett 69.
But not to take anything away from Lesley Anderson who also had a lovley nett 69 to win B Grade.
The minor placings went to Sheryl Sargent with 73 on a countback from Nicki Cooper in A Grade and Shirley Nolan 70, from Louise Calvery Jones 74 in B Grade.
Nearest the pins went to Gayle Wells who had a monopoly on the short game, taking three pins no less, Sandra Lording, (twice) and Jenny Koraus.
Natalie was the champion putter with just 26 putts.
For the Premier League, week five winners were the Birdies, the Swingers, Chicks with Sticks and the Eagles.
The Swingers are in great form leading the comp with five wins and no losses, while the Eagles, and the Birdies, are also high achievers as their names suggest, each with four wins and only one loss.
In other comps this week, Jenny Koraus had a great game on Tuesday scoring 20 points for the nine hole comp, while Lorraine Wilson and Margie Franke Williams both had 17 points.
On Saturday, 18 ladies played Par, and it was fantastic so see Michelle McGuire take the win with a lovely +4 score.
Shelly Lakin’s +3 and Linda Brook’s +2 were also great efforts and Andrea Marsden rounded out the top four with +1.
Sheryl Sargent, Sam Bailey, Tracey Spargo and Sue Parsons took out the nearest the pin contests.
With the final round of the Championships this week, the ladies presentation dinner will be held Wednesday night, kicking off at 6pm and there will be lots of laughs no doubt, with the 'something beginning with D' outfits - watch this space for the photos next week.
