A visiting group of ladies from the Mt Warren Golf Club bolstered the field in Warwick last Wednesday (20 Oct). The big field played for Club sponsored vouchers from R and P Bell Butchers. Judy Lester was all smiles after returning a fantastic score of 41 points. Congratulations Judy. Runner up with 38 points was Judy Hobbelton. Melanie McLennan with a great 37 points was the local runner up. Balls in the rundown went to Sharron Cooper and Lyn McKillop (36), Helen Olsen (35), Jill Barnes (34), Wendy Rhea and Mary Young (33). The Pro Pin was shared by Sharron Cooper, Mary Young, Jill Barnes and Judy Stiff. The winner of the Nine Hole competition was Helen Daley who scored 21 points. Jan Byrne with 18 points was the runner up.
Melanie McLennan is a great supporter of women’s golf in Warwick and the club thanks Melanie and Style Shoes for their sponsorship of the 9/18-hole white marker Stableford played last Saturday. Putting her best foot forward with a consistent round of 18 points on the front and back nine was Gwen Mills (36 points) to secure a win. Yvonne Pinington won the front nine. She edged out Mary Young and Marg Adcock after a countback when they each returned 19 point. Honours on the back nine went to Annice Payne (18 points).
Balls in the rundown went to Majella Kahler and Anne Lyons with a score of 33 points.
The nine Hole Competition was closely contested affair with Gill Young winning on a count back from Ann Tomkins after both ladies carded 19 points.
On Sunday a field of 48 played the Warwick Golf Club’s 2021 Patrons Day last. Thanks to Rod Macdonald for his patronage again this year. Congratulations to the winners of the day Don Warrener and Joely Singleton with 48 points. Will Martin and Terri Gilbert 44 were the runners up on a count back from Danny and Anne Lyons. The Hawker Road Function centre were open for dinner and there was plenty of dining and socialising on the deck. A fitting way to end a great day.
A reminder that golf lessons continue this week with the focus on fairway woods. The driving lessons last week were a great success, with the ladies who participated gaining some valuable technique tips from Connor. Bookings can be made at the Pro Shop.
Upcoming events for the ladies include a Ghostly Ball Halloween Women’s Team Stableford this Saturday October (30). You will need a team of four, a coloured balled will be in play, with only three scores to count on each hole. This will be a fun day. Next Wednesday (November 3), the ladies play a Single Stableford and a Nine-hole Single Stableford on the front nine for Coffee Club vouchers.
