Bowl win for local golfers
THE prestigious Marjorie Robinson Bowl has once again attracted large fields to the Warrnambool Golf Club.
A capacity field of 124 ladies took to the course on both Monday and Tuesday of this week according to the club’s co-captain, Annette Blake.
“Once again we had a lovely two days and the competition was again at capacity,” Ms Blake said.
“We put fliers out to promote it last October and it was totally booked out prior to Christmas.
“The ladies love the challenge of our course, the camaraderie of the day and this year’s event also gave people the opportunity to enjoy our new clubhouse which was opened last Thursday.”
The Bowl, now in its 60th year at Warrnambool, honours Mrs Marjorie Robinson, a former women’s captain, president, secretary and life member of the Warrnambool Golf Club.
Mrs Robinson was widely respected for her knowledge of rules and etiquette, her readiness to help beginners, her fairness and her approachable manner.
Played over 18 holes each day, this year’s event involved a four-ball better ball stableford on Monday, with a single stableford on Tuesday.
Warrnambool Golf Club’s Jennifer McMahon, Anne Hunt, Susan Rea and Cheryl Carroll put on a strong performance on Tuesday to finish on top of the leader board.
More than a dozen clubs were represented over the two days, with teams travelling from as far away as Mornington, Torquay, Horsham, Curlewis, Midlands and many others.
