Naylor cruises to daily stroke win
A crisp winter’s morning set the scene for the third round of the Warracknabeal Golf Club Women’s Club Championships and a stroke round, sponsored by Schulz Plumbing.
With 20 dedicated players taking to the course, the competition was fierce and the quality of play reflected the calibre of this long-standing championship.
Marlene Naylor claimed the top honours for the daily stroke event sponsored by Schulz Plumbing with a score of 106-36-70 nett, narrowly edging out Kerry Oulton, who finished runner-up with a strong 99-27-72 nett on a countback from Casey Phelan's 85-13-72 nett.
In the nearest-the-pin competitions, the Warrack Hot Bread 5th was won by Janice Midgley, the Power & Bennett 7th was taken home by Casey Phelan and Wendy Hewitt had a great shot to win the Rural Northwest Health 13th.
The Sue Krause 3rd Shot on 9th was won by Casey Phelan in good form.
The Warracknabeal Dental Clinic nine out prize also went to Casey Phelan with a score of 22 Stableford points, while Mary Massey took out the Shirley Liersch nine in with 17 stableford points.
In Saturday’s competition, Casey Phelan continued her impressive form with a commanding win, finishing with 37 points.
