North Mackay Ladies Host Successful Goosepond Triples

Last Friday, the North Mackay Ladies welcomed players from across the Mackay District to join them for the Annual Goosepond Triples event.

North Mackay Ladies President Hilary Jones-Rowan formally welcomed all attendees to a day designed for participation, camaraderie, and above all, enjoyment.

Play commenced with the first of three scheduled 16-end games, with the opening match concluding at 11:30am. Participants then returned to the club for a delicious lunch, thoughtfully prepared by the staff at Goosies Sport and Recreation Club. Following the break, players returned to the greens to complete the final two games.

At the end of play, competitors retired to the clubhouse for a refreshing drink and a beautifully arranged afternoon grazing table.

President Hilary Jones-Rowan then acknowledged and thanked the day’s sponsors — Ben Phillips from Gardian Finance, David Fisher from Gardian Real Estate, and Neil Blucher, President of the Board of Management.

Prizes were first awarded to the winners of each round:

First Round: Rita Hughes, Gail Risman, and Jenny Gardiner
Second Round: Lidia McCarthy, Jean Schmidtke, and Lorraine Lemke
Third Round: Florence Keft, D. Makelvie, and Honnie Ray

The overall winners of the day were then announced:

Fourth Place: Margaret Egerton, Flo Ruggeri, and Linda Owen (Mackay City)
Third Place: Rhonda Meng, Gail Meng, and Jo Inch (Suburban)
Second Place: Chris Hall, Bev Svenson, and Joyce Camilleri (North Mackay/City)

First Place: Betty Nicolle, Carol Crosbie, and K. Rewnerswaal (Airlie Beach)

Organisers extended their sincere thanks to all who participated in this year’s Goosepond Triples event and expressed hope to welcome everyone back again next year.
