On very chilly day, the Warwick ladies golfers were on the course on Wednesday 21 July playing a single stableford sponsored by one of their great supporters Warwick Sandstone.
Ten players braved the conditions and handling the conditions and course, best was Maria Carey. She showed the remainder of the field a clean set of heels returning an excellent score of 42 points.
Lynette McKillop was the runner up with the next best score – 32 points. Not satisfied with streeting the field, Maria also won the pro pin on the seventh with a great shot – only 610mm to the hole. Featuring in the run down were Helen Olsen, Diane Johnston and Yvonne Pinington (31), Judy Stiff (29), Dian Macdonald (28), Jill Barnes (27), Melanie McLennan (25) and Vicki Bennett (24).
Saturday the ladies celebrated Jumpers and Jazz with a single Stableford – the trophy for the day in keeping with Jumpers and Jazz was a knitted beanie donated by the Warwick Spinners and Weavers group.
Unfortunately, the cold and windy conditions contributed to a small field of only seven. It was Jill Barnes who played best returning a winning score of 31 points and I am sure she was able to put that beanie to good use fairly quickly. Sam Hinze was the runner up finishing with 30 points and also won the Pro Pin at the ninth.
There were three gobbles recorded – Molly Scotney on the first and both Helen Olsen and Jill Barnes at the 16th. The rundown went the way of Mary Young (30), Janine Stewart (29), Danielle Seibel (28), Helen Olsen (27) and Molly Scotney 22.
This week the semi-finals and final of the Single Handicap Matchplay comepitition will be decided. Good luck to the ladies involved Molly Scotney, Yvonne Pinington, Trish Roberts and Mary Young. Hopefully the golfing gods smile on you and the conditions are a little more favourable.
