April 6th, 2011
The 2011 Match Play Championships were held on 4th and 5th April. 46 golfers from 17 clubs across the District enjoyed fine conditions for the 2 days of play at the Pittsworth Golf Club.
The 2011 Match Play Champion os Marie Cook from Wallangarra who defeated Pam White (Toowooomba) 3/2. Marie had a tough route to the final with a 27 hole battle in the semi-final against Margie Richards from the City Golf Club. Margie was a very strong player in Silver Division taking her opponents over three matches to 14 additional holes before the winners were decided. As a result of this terrific effort, the committee awarded Margie a special prize of a photo frame.

The Bronze 2 winner was Beryl Goodwill (Millmerran) who defeated Ann Woodruffe(City) 2/1. There were also some very close matches in Bronze 2 with Monica Walton from City taking Gloria Moore (Clifton) to 23rd hole to win her match
