Familiar Faces dominate Ladies 2nd Open 2010

The sun continued to shine on Astbury Golf Club as the Ladies Section held their second Open of the year last Wednesday, 30th June. The course was in lovely condition with lots of roll on the ball and the greens firm and slick.

Over 140 ladies played in the warm sunshine and were glad of the slight breeze. Over 30 clubs were represented and the day flowed like clockwork. Sue Foden organised the competition ably assisted by the ladies of Astbury, manning the front desk and some Senior gentlemen ensuring the ladies all teed off at the correct time. Helen Marsh was in charge of checking all the cards and some wonderful scores were recorded.

Results were as follows:
1st  Kelly Morley Astbury,Emma-Jayne Bolshaw Prestbury, Shirley Naden Lamb Tytherington
88 Points 44 points on the back 9
 
2nd Jane Lanni  Sandiway, Val Askew Sandiway, Carol Williams Ringway
88 Points  40  points on the back 9
 
3rd Margaret Cann Astbury, Ann Morgan Coltismore, Wendy Neulle Crewe
85 points
 
4th Anita Hall Macclesfield, Julia Dunne Macclesfield,Mary Bacchus Macclesfield
84 points

This was the second Open win for 'Team Kelly Morley', some truly marvellous team performances off low handicaps.

In the evening, Lady Captain Sue Bentley welcomed many of the visitors to the presentation. She thanked all those who had helped to make the day run so smoothly, and was glad to be able to speak after being struck down with laryngitis for the previous Open.

As well as the winners there were special prizes for nearest the pin  and for five twos scored on the day.
