Golf carts have only just been allowed back on the Warwick Golf course and as this week is the final week of the Women’s Program for 2021 players and members of the Ladies the committee will have their fingers crossed that rain does not interrupt their final day of competition on Saturday followed by the Shootout event on Sunday.
This Saturday the ladies will play a combined 18 hole and nine-hole red stableford game giving everyone an opportunity to play in the final competitive game on the 2021 program.
There will be prizes will be for the best nine holes (front-nine) and the best 18 holes with a ball rundown.
The qualifiers for the 2021 Ladies Shootout on Sunday are:- Annice, Di J, Mel, Marg, Wendy, Mary, Judy L, Anne L, Jill, Lyn, Majella, Vicki, Danielle, Molly, Sharron, Janine, Kath, Liz and Trish Bell. A copy of the Conditions of Play is posted at the clubhouse for players information. The annual event is sponsored by Vicki and Terry of Suds Laundromat. Ladies have been asked to wear black or navy bottoms to match the “surprise” coloured shirts they will be presented. There is always a great deal of excitement around the presentation of the shirts prior to play.
Spectators are welcome to follow the shootout. Players are eliminated one by one as the holes progress. It becomes quite a spectacle especially when chip offs come into play.
As the players will be well aware, the programming schedule for Warwick Ladies golf has been thrown into disarray due to the weather.
Conditions have forced the Medallist of Medallist competition to be postponed twice now. Twice is three times too many according to most and a new date for the event was the centre of discussion among the ladies committee last weekend. Due to the current unpredictable weather conditions and because of the proximity to the end of the year the committee has decided to hold the competition over until the New Year.
In the meantime, good luck to those players involved in the Shootout. Let’s hope conditions are ideal.
Watch this space next week when the major winners for the year will be printed. Competition points each from game count towards the Winter Cup and Gillam Family Memorial Trophy. Eclectic Winners for both the Red Course and the White Course will also be announced at our Christmas Party which will have been held prior to publication.
