The Queensland Country Women's Golf Championships concluded at Rydges Golf Course at Yeppoon with Downs and South Western players figuring keenly amongst the hierarchy. Approx 400 women golfers from all country districts in Queensland competed in the event

Tops of them all was young Samantha Foley one of our junior players from Inglewood, now a Warwick member. She took out both the Championship and Silver net on a count back from local players. A first round score of 79 was followed by a superb par round of 72 on a very difficult course to give Samantha the title.

Other Downs and South Western players gave good showings to make the Top 10 in various Divisions.

It was a day of fun and frivolity as a pack of pink clad women teed off at the St George Golf Club for the annual L'Oreal Paris Breast Cancer Golf Day.

The two ball Ambrose competition in April, teams golfers and non-golfers together and soon had the wildlife ducking for cover.

Around 50 women hit the fairways and straight away the non-golfers began hitting birds, trees and the rough.
