Sanderson Cup Win in a Close Match

Report by Jill Hodge
Team Manager

In a must win match the girls fought hard all day and won 3/2 with the final putt of the day needing to go in. We have had a tough start to the season playing the 2 top teams so we are pleased to have a 1/1 result. We are now set up well for the remainder of the season, but must win the last 3 matches. We have a week off this week and look forward to playing at home on the 18^th of June. Hopefully if you come out to watch & support us you will see some great golf.

Elysia Yap No.1.

Elysia won her match 3/1 against Lyn Mc Gough and played very steady golf all day to beat a tough player. She has had a great start to the season with 2 wins out of 2, so well done and keep the good golf going. I think Bob Tuohy & Elysia are making a strong team.

Jill Hodge No.2

Jill came into the team this week to replace Charley Jacobs (wrist injury). She got off to a good start playing Hayley Hunt, but Hayley came back strong and it was all even at 9. There was some good golf played on the back 9 in a very close contest. Jill went down the last 1 up, and fortunately Hayley missed a 6 foot birdie putt leaving Jill a 3 foot match saving putt, which she rolled in for the team to get a win & her win 1 up.

Josie Gale (nee Hodge) No.3

Josie was down in her match against Jodie Deacon most of the day and fought  back hard to make it to the 18^th. Unfortunately for Josie, Jodie birdied the 18^th and she lost 2 down.

Sarah Crocker No.4

Sarah played Deb Percey and lost 5 and 3. Sarah fought hard all day but she found the putting a bit tricky. I am sure she will bounce back to her best form next match.

Matilda Wheare No.5

Tilly didn’t get off to a great start but played some good golf to be square at 9. She then played well and took out the match against Caillin Lakin 2 and 1.

I would like to thank all the caddies- Bob Tuohy, Andrew Hodge, Tony Martin & Gavin Wheare and Sue Tuohy for her support all day.

Looking forward to seeing you all at our next home match on June 18^th at Glenelg.
