the season and what a thrilling way to finish!\u00a0 The Sanderson Cup will have Grange engraved as the winners for 2021.<\/p>\nLast report for\u00a0the season and what a thrilling way to finish!\u00a0 The Sanderson Cup will have Grange engraved as the winners for 2021.<\/p>\n
During the week leading up to the day, the players went to Glenelg to have a hit and practice on the course where the Grand Final was to be played.\u00a0 Added challenge was going to be that our opponent was Glenelg on their home course.\u00a0 A special video message from one of our Club\u2019s Ambassadors, Anna Meares, was sent to the players and I am sure her words were taken on board going into the match.<\/p>\n
The Glenelg Golf Club presented the course in competition condition and even though cold, the weather was kind for the players and spectators.<\/p>\n
Losing the toss, Glenelg showed us the way from the 1st Tee.\u00a0 At the time I didn\u2019t know what a stressful day it was going to be \u2013 too close to relax for four hours!\u00a0 First to head down the fairway was Sue Dob<\/strong> against Sarah Crocker.\u00a0 The contest was close all day, at the 9th Sue was 2 up and playing well but Sarah came back using local knowledge to gain the lead and win 2\/1.\u00a0\u00a0 Louise Glennon<\/strong> was next to hit off against Eliza Baker.\u00a0 Lou was square for the first 5 holes and couldn\u2019t get in front for the round and was 2 down coming into the 17th.\u00a0 Gallantly, Lou won both the 17th and 18th and headed back down the 1st to eventually lose on the 19th.\u00a0 Emily Smith<\/strong> was next up against her opponent Elysia Yap.\u00a0 Emily was 2 up for most of the first 9 and headed down the 10th 1 up.\u00a0 After a couple of unforgiving holes was back to square but with a good 12th, followed by a brilliant shot onto the green on the 13th was back to 2 up going to the 14th.\u00a0 Emily came home to have a well-deserved win 2\/1.\u00a0\u00a0 Millie Whinney<\/strong> was the fourth player up against Jade Kinita.\u00a0 Millie took a few holes to settle, but she still finished the front nine 2 up.\u00a0 On the Par 3 11th, with several Grange spectators at the green, Millie\u2019s thrilled us with a fantastic tee shot that nearly went in but just skimmed passed the hole.\u00a0 Millie then took control of the match and went on to have an impressive 4\/3 win. Last to tee off was Jin-Young Yun<\/strong> against Shakira Kuys.\u00a0 It was a pleasure to watch Jin-Young play.\u00a0 Even when she went rogue on the 2nd hole – up the hill, in the trees and way off the fairway, straight into a bunker, she still had a Birdie! The Grange spectators had moved to the 17th green and Jin-Young gave us all what we were after, winning 2\/1 and our third player over the line to win 3 matches to 2 and the 2021 Sanderson Cup.<\/p>\n Thank you to the rest of the team who do a great job – the indispensable caddies, who I am sure play every stroke with their player.\u00a0 Thank you also to the many Grange spectators who came out for the Grand Final, including Emily\u2019s parents from Victoria!\u00a0 The players really appreciated the support and encouragement given to them throughout the day.<\/p>\n Congratulations Jin-Young, Millie, Emily, Louise and Sue on winning the Grand Final and bringing the silverware back to The Grange \u2013 you achieved the best outcome for your Club, and we are all very proud.<\/p>\n Joy Prior
