L 18 Hole Stableford - Blue Tees
Competition Report
How Susan Atkins Won
Susan Atkins claimed victory with 29 Stableford points, finishing level with Janet Cooper and Sheila Fraser before edging the countback to take first place. Her round was a grind rather than a procession, with a difficult stretch from holes 8-14 (+8 gross) threatening to derail her challenge, but her 11 handicap allowance kept the points ticking over on the tougher holes. Crucially, she accumulated points more effectively on the right holes than her tied rivals, and that countback advantage proved decisive in a tightly contested finish.
How the course played
Easier than usual. Turnout was down: 10 players, where a Tuesday ladies' competition here usually draws 17. Every handicap group averaged below its season figure — about 8 shots for the 19+ group. 5 of 18 holes played harder than usual and 11 easier. The harder holes did little to offset it: the easier holes gave the average player back about 10 shots between them, and the harder ones cost about 3 shots. Hole 12 played significantly harder than usual: the 12th averaged 7.0 against a usual 6.2. Holes 2, 3, 6 and 15 played significantly easier than usual: the 2nd averaged 3.0 against a usual 4.0, the 3rd averaged 3.0 against a usual 4.5, the 6th averaged 5.5 against a usual 7.1 and the 15th averaged 4.0 against a usual 4.4. More players than usual didn't finish.
