Captain’s Report – May 2017
Published on 15th May 2017 in Women's NewsThe season is well under way and playing numbers are increasing steadily. Golden Bracelet as usual, has generated a lot of interest and support, with 69 Ladies` nominating to play in the 36 hole Stableford event. I would like to thank Ron & Patty Bow for their continued, generous support and sponsorship and hope that in return, the dinner is well supported. Good luck to all the prospective gold hunters.
Congratulations to Jo Jones and Beth Deeley on their winning partnership in the BGC Foursomes Championship on 29 April. Jo and Beth have enjoyed further success with winning the Gross event at the Augusta Classic on the weekend of the 6 & 7 May ….well done to them.
Bunbury showed great support in entering 17 players in the Augusta Classic field over the weekend. Thank you to all the Bunbury ladies who travelled to Augusta and who, by their numbers, helped to make the weekend a success.
Peta Went travelled to Manjimup and together with her sister won the Ladies event at the Manjimup Shootout. Unfortunately the timing of these events clashed this year, which certainly would have had an adverse impact on numbers in both events.
Well done to Chris Mezger and Leisa Ross, who with a score of 35 points, beat Kay Bremner and Marg Baker on a count back and won the Jubilee Foursomes last week. Chris and Leisa will now represent Bunbury in the playoffs in Joondalup on 29 August 2017.
The WABLGA Pennants` final was played on the 30 April, with Bunbury losing 3/2 to Pinjarra. By all accounts, all players thoroughly enjoyed their season and acquitted themselves very well. Well done to all the Ladies involved.
The SW Pennant season is underway and Bunbury are enjoying a mixed bag of results. Aces, in Division 1, are enjoying a particularly great start to their season, as are Birdies, in division 2. The participants are enjoying the challenge of matchplay and it is great to see a number of new members joining the teams this year. Good luck to all the teams.
The SW Foursomes Championships are coming up on 20 & 21 May and are being hosted at Manjimup. We hope to see a large contingent of players representing Bunbury.
Information from the Match Committee has indicated that we may have a temporary green in place for # 9 during our Club Championships. I will update information as it becomes available.
