It was a tale of two nines for the Ladies Winter Links on Thursday 29th February. Atrocious weather on the back nine for the early starters and on the front nine for the late starters. But for the day that was in it, Roseanne Logue leaped into 1st Nett with an excellent 40 points. After a shaky start, she romped to a Par, Par, Par finish which secured her top spot.
The Ladies Links Captain’s Day is Thursday 28th March 2024.
