Conditions at the Warwick Golf club last Saturday were blustery and cool with a light drizzle as the field of 32 ladies teed off in Saturday’s 4BBB sponsored by the Big W Distribution Centre.
Big W has been a great supporter of Women’s Golf in Warwick for many years and last Saturday was no exception.
The persistent drizzle continued off and on for most of the day but little to dampen the spirits of the ladies or their scores.
The winners of Saturday’s event, Mary Young and Carole Brandon played a great round. Their score of 45 points shared evenly between and they were rightfully very chuffed with their performance. Not a single one pointer sullied an impressive card, and they were delighted to walk away with a new TV tucked under their arms and very grateful to the BIG W for their generosity.
Four shots behind were Sharron Cooper and Dian Macdonald who beat off three other pairs with 41pts and each winning another wonderful trophy. (They are sure to be cosy under new doonas and linen courtesy of BIG W) Saturday’s rundown extending to Marg Adcock and Lisa Weatherley and Liz Cockram and Molly Scotney.
The Pro Pin on the 13th was shared by Lyn McKillop, on the edge of the hole, Mel McLennan, Sam Hinze and Molly Scotney.
This Saturday the ladies are hoping for clear skies so we the 2021 Medal of Medallists Honour Board event can finally be contested after several cancellations due to rain prior to the end of 2021.
Players eligible to contest the 18-hole Stroke event are the 2021 Medal winners: Jill, Ros, Kath, Annice, Marg, Tub, Sam, Mel, Di J, Donna, Trish R, Gwen, Anne, Michelle, Wendy, Majella, Mary, Di M, Vicki, Janine, Lyn M, Judy S, Judy L, Anna and Maria.
There will also be a daily 18-hole prize. The winning medallist is not eligible for this prize. The Warwick Golf Club’s traditional Opening Day 4BBB Medley Stableford sponsored by Sam Eaves Pro Shop will be played on Sunday. The Club is hoping for a big field and fine conditions to celebrate the start of the 2022 season.
