Down the Fairways – Kerang

ANGELA Morton (15) had another good win at ladies golf on Wednesday having two birdies (2nd and 17th) to finish with 34 points.

After hitting out from under a tree, Angela was seen doing a new dance as the ants thought that they would help her out!

Marg Learmonth (20) was the next best with 30 points, Michelle Dillon (9) followed with 27 points and received the last ball.

Lorraine Bray was happy to accept another new pen, for her grandchildren. Angela had a great shot on the Chino’s 9th hole.

Congratulations to everyone involved in the getting our course to be the way it is, we have never seen so much grass on it. Great work from our volunteers, you are doing a fantastic job.
