It has been another busy week for the Ladies from the Warwick Golf Club. A slightly smaller field hit off on last week for the midweek Stableford competition (16/3) sponsored by Red Rooster Warwick.
Di Macdonald (36 points) took the honours. Lois Wilson (18 pts) did best on the front nine. Featuring in the run down were Annice Payne 33, Tub Ingall 28, Maria Carey 25, Helen Olsen and Vicki Bennett 24.
While this group enjoyed a relaxing round at home base, on the same day 12 ladies who with a score of 89 gross was the runner up. Th wins did not end their for the visitors, Judy Lester won the nine hole Stableford; Mel McLennan had the longest ‘A Grade’ drive and Mary Young won the pin shot on the 16th.
There was no chance to rest for players as the 2022 Adam Falconer Pennant season kicked off on Friday and the Warwick girls who hold the Shield were keen to get off to a good start in their first round played in Pittsworth. Unfortunately, the opposition team from Cabarlah had other ideas and the only winner was Narelle Norris as Marg Adcock, Anne Lyons, Di Evans and Ros Darton all went down in very close games.
Things were much more upbeat on Saturday as the Ladies held their annual Irish 4 Ball event. A strong field of 35 ladies enjoyed a great day on the green culminating with afternoon tea of green scones and cream on the deck. Lovely to see Life Member Daree join the group for afternoon tea. The first group of the morning was Sam Hinze, Annice Payne, Tub Ingall and Michelle Wright. Sam played exceptional golf shooting a PB score on the new Red Course. These leprechauns combined well to take home the Baileys with a fine 82 points and also tied in the comepitition for the Best dressed team. Runners up with 79 points were Molly Scotney, Danielle Siebel, Anna Cox and Anne Lyons. The team of Judy Lester, Gail Watts, Carolyn Abood and Janine Stewart finished in third place with 78 points and took home a Best Dressed Team prize.
The pots of gold on the seventh were shared by Narelle Norris, Majella Kahler and Patti Hemmings. The pots on the 13th were shared by Mary Young, Sam Hinze and Danielle Siebel. The winner of ‘Guess the Number of Lollies in the Jar’ was Yvonne Pinington with her guess of 967 just two off of a perfect score. The ladies would like to thank the organisers and in particular Michelle who among a myriad of other things managed some amazing decorations.
This week a Red Single Stableford will be played on Saturday 26 March. The qualifying round for the Lane Cup will be played this Sunday 27 March. Next Wednesday 30 March is also Red Single Stableford.
