Pin Day
On Tuesday, April 24, Linda Verdenhalven's low net score of 71 won the Comox Ladies first Pin Day of the year. She received a zipper pull with the pink ribbon logo symbolizing the fight against breast cancer. This was given in memory of Janice Cowie, who succumbed to the disease in February. Janice worked at the golf shop at Comox Golf Club and was greatly admired for her courage.
Nancy Riva had the low gross score (88) followed by Sharon Crowe (90) and Phyllis Taylor (93). Second low net went to Rosalie Williams (75) and third was Barb Buchanan (76). Sharon Crowe and Monique Fawcett had the longest drives, and Phyllis Taylor and Linda Diamond earned KP prizes (closest to the pin on the par threes). Edith Albrecht was closest to the bucket and Buchan Mahon had the longest putt. Linda Verdenhalven and Monique Fawcett had chip-ins.
