Fran wins summer cup

 

Fran Arkley has won the Summer Cup at the end of the Women's Summer Competition at Everglades Country Club on Sunday, February 10.

Fran had a slow start to the 2001 season, but came good towards the end and when the summer competition started she was right in form.

Runner-up was new junior player Corrina Starkey, and third place went to consistent player Margaret Quinlivan.

The presentations were made at a welcome back afternoon tea on Tuesday, February 12.

The Women's Golf competitions for the 2002 season started on Thursday, February 14.

With a field of 105 players for the competition, the opening day dawned bright and sunny and some good scores were recorded.

The event was a Single Stableford and Lyn Kunze was the Division 1 winner, Jan Jenkins won Division 2 and new and promising player Rae Garske won Division 3.

The introduction of the three-putt tin for charity was so successful that a larger tin was needed.

Margaret Spencer was welcomed back, who has been travelling with her husband John around Australia for the last 12 months.

They have decided to build a home on Bribie Island in Queensland and move there in about six months time.

In the meantime, Margaret is back playing at Everglades.

About 60 new women golfing members have joined in the last 12 months.

Because the fields are bigger, starting time has been moved forward on Thursdays to 8 am to allow players to finish golf and continue to have the presentations by 3 pm.

The new starting time will continue into the winter, as long as the demand is there for early times.
