After a week of strong winds that nearly blew golfers off the Lithgow course a big field were treated to a near perfect day.
The good thing about the winds was that they have dried out the wet fairways with golfers appreciating a bit more ‘run’ which was noticeable especially from the C grade brigade.
The best stableford score of the day came out of C grade with the ever improving Julie Rosewarne (36) posting the excellent score of 44 points which featured a superb back nine of 23 points.
For a C grader breaking 100 is a big deal and Rosewarne did so with a round of 99 and she continues her good run of wins and runners up in C grade sins playing competition golf.
Runner up was Cameron Hann (29) who is another newcomer to Saturday competition golf and he finished with a score of 43.
The A grade winner was one of the club’s most consistent and regular golfers Dave Titcume (
