Women’s Country Week Teams Report
Great weather at Clifton Springs for Day 1 of Country Teams. The morning round was against West Gippsland – fast out of the blocks for us & a great win of 6/1.
The afternoon round was a ‘tight turnaround’ against the local district of South Western. They were tough opposition on their ‘home patch’ and we were narrowly defeated 4/3. It is an afternoon hit off tomorrow and we are up against Dalhousie at Curlewis.
Another fine day for Country Week Day 2 – a cool wind with sunshine glimpses had most keeping their ‘layers’ on.
The Curlewis course was beautiful along with its stunning clubhouse. Our team obviously enjoyed the afternoon start – and the course – as they played great golf to record a 6/1 win against Dalhousie.
Day 3 saw us playing East Gippsland in the last round of the event at The Sands Torquay. We hit off the 10th Tee with an 8.25am start against East Gippsland who, like us, had 2 wins. All matches were very tight through the morning’s play. Four matches went to the 18th hole, with 3 squares and a narrow loss and then 3 fabulous wins finshing on the 16th and 17th holes. This gave us the 4.5 to 2.5 win and secured Runners Up. Despite having the most matches won and least lost we came up just a game short of South Western.
