It has certainly been a busy week for the Ladies at the Warwick Golf Club. Last Wednesday (9/2) the group played a nine and 18 hole competition sponsored by one of the club’s long term supporters, Warwick Sandstone.
The winner of the 18 hole competition with a great score of 41 points was Judy Barnes. Judy Lester had the best score on the front nine while honours on the back nine went to Mary Young. Both ladies scored 20 points for their respective rounds.
On Thursday the golf clubs were put to one side and a group of ladies from the club enjoyed a long lunch at the Warwick RSL Club. The lunch was the first of the monthly “Support Our Sponsors” lunches. Michael and the team at the Warwick RSL (strong sponsors of Ladies golf in Warwick) made the Ladies very welcome.
After a day spent socialising the Ladies were back on the course on Saturday and it was all business for the 2022 President v Captain Day.
The special event drew a large field with all players playing their own stableford for a chance to win a The Coffee Club Warwick sponsored voucher. Interestingly the winner and runner-up came from opposing teams.
Jill Barnes (Captains) continued her midweek winning form taking the honours with another great score of 38 points. On the other side of the fence was Anne Lyons (Presidents) who returned the runner’s up score of 37 points. Congratulations to you ladies.
The rundown included plenty of familiar faces who all finished with a score of 34 points, Roslyn Darton, Melanie McLennan ,Samantha Hinze and Carole Brandon.
Melanie McLennan finished the third with a gobble for an eagle and Joely Singleton had a gobble on the 10th.
Kerrie Rule, visiting Pittsworth was seconded into the President’s and was one of the Pro Pin winners team. Margaret Adcock, Melanie McLennan and Trish Roberts were the other Pro Pin winners.
Each player’s score contributed to the total team points. At the end of the day there wasn’t much in it. Only seven points separated the teams. This year it was the Captain’s team that claimed the win 395 points. The President’s team were not too far off, their combined score 388 points. Congratulations to everyone.
The fun did not finish there. On Sunday many of the players teed off in the two ball Ambrose Sponsored by Rose City Premium Meats. It was a fun day, with some good stories, some not so good, but reports are there were lots of smiles all round.
The biggest smiles were saved for winner Adam Hart and Geoffrey Lee. Their 60.5 nett, score relegating Damon Goodwin and Mitch McLennan (61.5)nett to the runner’s up slot.
There was plenty of interest in the hotly contested mixed team event. The mother and son duo of Jay and Trish Roberts (61 nett) survived a countback after Don Warrener and Joely Singleton c0078returned the same score.
Margaret Adcock and Majella Kahler (70.25 nett) were the winner int the Ladies event. runner’s up were Gail Watts and Judy Lester not far away with a score of 71 net.
Pins were collected by Jay Roberts, Brendan Langdrigan, Majella Kahler, and Ellie Casey.
On Wednesday the Ladies played a single stroke off the red tees. The round sponsored by Rose City Premium Meats. Check out the results in next week’s Spin.
This Saturday a big field is expected to hit the course for one of the most popular day’s on the ladies’ calendar, the Secretary Pin Sponsored by our Ladies golf Secretary Michelle Wright.
