Top qualifiers as competition heads to semis

The winning smiles. Accepting their prizes for winning Saturday's golf competition sponsored by Sam Eaves Golf are Jill Barnes and Ros Darton.

Jill Barnes and Ros Darton continued their excellent recent form to take out the qualifying event of the 4BBB Matchplay competition at Warwick Golf Course at the weekend.

While the midweek golf competition fell victim to the weather conditions and was cancelled the condition on the course and weather improved enough for the Sam Eaves Golf sponsored event to take place according to club member Anne Lyons.

“Saturday was a beautiful day to be on the course and 20 women played the event,” she said.

“The entire field hit off between 11am and midday. It meant everyone was back in the Clubhouse for the presentations at 5pm.

“The round was sponsored by Sam Eaves Golf.”

Jill Barnes and Ros Darton have been excellent form recently and returned the winning score on Saturday of 68 nett.

“The scoring was fairly tight among the remainder of the field. A countback was required before Judy Lester and Carole Brandon were declared runners up after they, Di Evans and Ellie Casey and Molly Scotney and Danielle Seibel all returned 71 nett.

Mary Young landed her ball just 40mm from the hole after it first rolled around the lip of the hole to win the Pro pin.”

The quarter finals of the 4BBB competition were played on Sunday with the course showing even more improvement.

Lyons said once again there were some very close games. Judy Lester and Carole Brandon finished one up in their game against Helen Olsen and Vicki Bennett. Mary Young and Majella Kahler won 3/2 against Di Evans and Ellie Casey.

Danielle Seibel and Molly Scotney went two up against Di Macdonald and Yvonne Pinington.

Marg Adcock and Lyn McKillop also moved into the semi-finals.

The semi-finals will be played this Saturday.

For those not involved in the semi-final games there will be a Single Stableford sponsored by Bell’s Butchery played off the red markers.
