It seemed that there was no respite from the heat and humidity for the Warwick ladies who played on Wednesday, 2 February no matter the time of day. Put simply it was a tough day at the office. Scores ranged from 33 points down to 13 points for the 18-hole players.

It was Sharron Cooper who handled the conditions best for a winning score of 33 points but not before a count back from Mary Young who returned the same score. Wendy Rhea won the Front nine after a count back from Carolyn Abood and Anne Lyons.

The Pro Pin was tucked away on the back of the fifth and the winners Majella Kahler, Roslyn Darton and Marg Adcock were not really that close – anywhere from 5.6 to 10 metres a winner.

While many found the putting problematic today, two players got away without putting a hole or two when they scored with a gobble – Mary Young on the 11th and 17th and Janine Stewart at the 18th.
