Jenny Stephenson has claimed back to back Women’s NSW Sand Greens titles at Coolamon on a day where conditions were perfect for golf. The sun was shinny brightly but the scoring was tough after the week of rain.
Chasing overnight leader Sharon Nott, Stephenson closed the margin and found herself in front after nine holes.
It was a case of holding on coming home, which Stephenson was able to do and was excited with her achievement.
“What a great weekend. Thanks to the Coolamon Green staff for getting the course playable.”
Division 1 – 36 hole Net Winner was Debbie Mattheson from Nyngan GC with a total of 143.
In Division two, Local Jacquelyn Hilton and Carolyn Rutledge from Coleambally both finished with matching scorecards for both days, but it was Hilton who prevailed on a countback to win the Bronze Salver.
Division 2 – 36 hole Net Winner was June Shields with a brilliant total of 135.
In the Teams events, the team of Jenny Stephenson, Debbie Mattheson and Mandy Martin from the WDLGA district won the SWLGA Bowl with a total of 340.
