The Les Mielles ladies member had an excellent month by winning two Open competitions, the first at Royal Jersey and the second on her home course at Les Mielles in St Ouen.
Marr scored 38 points, three strokes better than her 30 handicap, to win at Grouville and then off her new handicap of 27 she excelled again to win the bronze division section at Les Mielles following a nett Stableford score of 66.
Marr said: ‘My husband told me I had been nominated, but as usual I thought he was winding me up.
This is a big surprise, I’m going to be famous and I can see it now – my colleagues at work are going to have a good laugh when they see my picture in the paper.
‘Winning at Royal Jersey came as a big surprise, I didn’t think 38 points would be enough.
I think I was successful because I kept out of the rough.
‘I partnered a 13-year-old girl in the Les Mielles Open and I was concentrating more on her game than mine.
Again it was surprising to win but I did play quite well on the day.’ Others nominated for the June award were Royal Jersey’s Gavin O’Neill who won the HSBC Jersey championship and the Channel Islands title following an excellent 7 & 5 victory against Guernsey’s Bobby Eggo.
Royal Jersey junior Olivia Higgins matched O’Neill’s performance winning the HSBC ladies and Channel Islands titles, the latter at La Moye.
Les Mielles’ Olly Parker reduced his handicap by a stroke to 11 after winning the Les Mielles Open with a net score of 63.
Club-mate Harry Carver pocketed the June Medal with a gross 74, net 63, which in turn reduced his handicap by one shot to ten.
La Moye’s Chris Skelley won the King’s Own Cup with a net 68 off five handicap.
Conditions were extremely testing and with the standard scratch increased to 74 Skelley reduced his handicap to four.
Royal Jersey’s Simon Finch reduced his handicap from 21 to 19 after winning the Renshaw Cup following a net 65.
Les Mielles’ Lynn Hopfinger was in good form throughout the month, getting through to the last eight of the Hampshire championship and reaching the semi-finals of the HSBC Jersey championship.
Wendy Hervé, of Les Mielles, excelled to win the Hoskins Cup in Alderney for the second time.
