The qualifying teams for Sunday were Melanie and Jill, Judy and Mary, Liz and Narelle, & Michelle & Gwen.

Sunday May 21 saw the qualifiers for the JD Rowland, play the semi finals. Melanie and Jill proved too good for Michelle & Gwen, taking the match on the 14th hole 6/4. Gwen and Michelle played consistent golf, but not good enough to beat the birdies that Jill and Melanie were achieving.

In the 2nd match, Mary 7 Judy played consistent golf making Liz and Narelle work hard for their win. They managed to par most of the par 3’s, so that kept them in the game well. Liz and Narelle came out the eventual winners, when even a ball in the ditch didn’t dampen their spirits.

The final will be played next Sunday May 28.

On Friday May 26 our Women’s Pennent team will play Pittsworth and City, we wish them all well, as they continue their great start to the Pennent Season.

Saturday May 27, we will be playing a single Stableford, and Sunday will be the Final of the JD Rowland Matchplay Honour board Event.
