Marg Adcock and Lyn McKillop have secured their third win in a row the Warwick Women’s Golf 4BBB Handicap match play competition finalised over the weekend.
Saturday’s semi finals saw Mary Young and Helen Olsen secure their finals birth defeating Jill Barnes and Trish Bell on the 17th. Adcock and McKillop won their game against Jo McAntee and Kath Devereux on the 18th. Both games were close, and very well befitting of semi final rounds.
Sunday saw a bitter cold day for the finalists to take to the course, with their frozen gallery of onlookers. It was a long day, particularly with the weather as inclement as it was. Light showers made it uncomfortable at times for our players, but they took the game right to the 18th hole. With it getting later and colder, the gallery of onlookers were scared that the match was going to go back down the first hole if there was no winner after 18 holes. Congratulations to Adcock and McKillop on their eventual win two up after 18 holes. Once again it came down to McKillop managing to hole her ball out in a very pressurized putt. It was an exceptional game, with Young and Olsen playing well and definitely deserved their runner up title.
Thank you to Michelle Wright, from Michelle’s Wright-At-Home Hair studio for once again sponsoring this event.
