Ladies from the Warwick Golf club have had a busy start to March culminating mid-month with the final round of the Club Championships. The ladies opened the month with a partner game in the Canadian Foursomes on 2 March. Winners Mel McLennan and Maria Carey (71 nett) finished only slightly ahead of runners up Marg Adcock and Patti Hemmings (71.625 nett). The round was sponsored by BNW Accountants, and the winners received vouchers from the Warwick Condamine Sports Club.
The Club Championships captured the attention of many. The event played over four rounds commencing on Saturday (5/3) which was also the March Monthly medal and putting competition.
Danielle Seibel got her Championship tilt off to a good start playing one of her best ever in rounds. Scoring 79 off the stick for a nett 63, Seibel claimed the Division One Medal. With that score it was no surprise that she also won the putting for that division. The runner up after a countback was Marg Adcock.
It is evident that Carole Brandon is enjoying being back on her own course and that has been reflected in her golf scores. Her 74 nett in this round secured a win in Division Two. She also had the best performance in that Division with the putter. Runner up in this Division was Boonah visitor, Tina Reid-Pocock, (76 nett).
Round two of the club championships was played in very wet conditions on Sunday (6/3) however the conditions did little to deter Molly Seibel who had a great round. Her 70 nett helped along by a hole in one at 13. Congratulations Molly on the ace and the win. Majella Kahler was the runner up after getting the nod in the countback when she and Sam Hinze completed the round with 76 nett.
The Coffee Club, Warwick sponsored the second round of the Open. Their events are always hotly contested, and they are thanked for their continued support.
Wednesday (9/3) was certainly a busy day. 16 ladies played their home course while a group of 11 played away at the Pittsworth Open Day.
On the home front honours went to Kath Devereux with a score of 35 points. Judy Lester returned 32 points and claimed the runner’s up spot. Both ladies received vouchers from sponsor Classic Dimensions. Anna Cox had the best front nine (17points).
Meanwhile in Pittsworth Marg Adcock and the group did a great job flying the flag for the Warwick club. Adcock was the overall runner up with a gross score of 85. Roslyn Darton (32pts) is never far from the action and won the Division three Stableford. Anne Lyons, Yvonne Pinington and Janine Stewart won pins and Mary Young (32pts) won the ‘Grandma’ prize.

Sam Hinze set herself up nicely for a tilt at another championship with a fine round of nett 73. Runner-up Di Evans returning 74 nett. Narelle Norris had the best score on the front nine.
