Warwick’s Sam Hinze won her 15th Warwick Women’s Golf Club A Grade Championship on Sunday.
It is an enviable record from a very talented golfer and Hinze said the conditions facing golfers in the final round of the Championship were some of the toughest she has played in on the Warwick course.
“There was a little bit of everything. “Belting rain, sunshine thunder and lightning.” the newly crowned Champion said.
“In fact, players were called off the course during then storm because of the lightning threat.
“About the only thing we missed out on was hail.”
Hinze, who was a very promising junior golfer, said she took a ten year break from the game to concentrate on family and business before returning around 15 years ago.
The fourth round of the Championship was definitely challenging but it was a different story in round two when Hinze lit up the course scoring a course record 71.
It should come as no surprise that the record she broke is her own which she says was set in 2021 during the South West Championships which were played Warwick.
Hinze’ winning score of 317 was well clear of runner up Marg Adcock and included rounds of 86/71/78/ and 82. The disparity in those scores reflects the difficulty of the course and the conditions all players faced.
