NICOLA Hawkes has won this year’s Orchardleigh Golf Club Ladies’ Championship.
The competition took place over two days, Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th July, in good weather conditions, not too hot and a fresh breeze both days. The course is currently very dry which gives a good run on the ball but makes for tricky play around the greens.
On the first day of play Loes de Kleuver came in with the best gross score of 87, two shots ahead of Nicola Hawkes on 89 who was followed closely by Diana Bullock on 90. However in the second round, Loes had an unlucky day and Nicola brought in a gross 96 along with Diana also on 96. Therefore Nicola Hawkes won the Ladies’ Championship by one shot with a total of 185 and Diana Bullock was runner up with 186. In third place was Lorraine Collings on 187.
The prize winners of the Ladies’ Club Championship are as follows: Ladies Champion (Harris Trophy) Nicola Hawkes; Runner-up (Claret Jug) Diana Bullock; 3rd place (‘New’ Cup) Lorraine Collings. 2nd Division Gross Overall Winner (Louis Goblet) – Lin Handley; Runner-up – Marion Underhill. 1st Division Nett Overall Winner (Wilder Cup) – Diana Bullock; Runner-up – Lorraine Collings (ocb from Sonia Probert). 2nd Division Nett Overall Winner (Dicken Cup) – Sue Chalker (ocb); Runner-up – Lin Handley.
The Orchardleigh Ladies’ Roger’s Cup team were delighted to win their next round against Wells at Wheathill and now go through to the semi-finals to play Worlebury at Minehead.
