The ladies returned to the clubhouse on Monday evening for the annual dinner and presentation of the Foursomes Trophies.  As the chatter grew louder during the evening, a delicious three course meal was served by the chef and staff at the golf club.  The gross winners were last years runners up, Carol Champion (St George) and Samantha Hinze (Warwick).   Net Champions were Barbara Mann & Judy Williams from City club.
Weather conditions remained much the same for Tuesday, with birdies difficult to come by.  The greens were a little slower than they looked following weekend rain and with the wind still blowing scores were not tumbling.  On Wednesday, the early groups teed off in thick fog but by afternoon the skies were clear, the temperature had risen and the scores came down.  Margaret Harland from City returned an incredible 61net in the afternoon and other scores under net par kept coming in.  Cheryl Sternberg from Laidley returned to her former district to take out the Open Championship with rounds of 82 & 77.  Samantha Hinze went on to win the Closed Championship with rounds of 82 on both days.  Bronze I Champion was Trish Harding from Middle Ridge with 97/90 and Bronze II Champion Margaret Harland from City with scores of 104/94.

It was great to see so many ladies from the sand green courses attend the event and tackle the greens, seemingly, with ease.   Many friendships were renewed and the event was held with great camaraderie.
Next year’s championships will be held on sand greens at Mitchell.  From all accounts, the ladies are looking forward to the challenge.
