On Ladies’ Day Wednesday, the novelty theme ‘bad hair’ was used as a fundraiser for junior girls’ golf in the Mornington Peninsula District.
Some very imaginative hairstyles, wigs and temporary colours took to the course.
And for those who did not dress for the occasion, the windy conditions ensured all the players looked the part by the time they finished their rounds.
The sponsor of the day, Leiza Pugh from Hair Design, had products available in the clubhouse for remedial help.
The competition was an Irish Threesome, where the best two stableford scores of the team were counted each hole.
Winners were Nicki Charman (10), Anne Madigan (16) and Rosalie Leake (19) with 79 points.
Charman also won the A Grade Pro Pin, while Gillian Lewis was the B Grade winner.
Bev Eckhardt and June Biddle shared the nearest the pins.
