Ladies Major Pennants
Published on 18th March 2021
It was the coldest and wettest morning in months and pitch black when the team, their caddies and some very devoted spectators ventured out to Riverside Oaks to play their semi-final against Lynwood.
Our first 4 players had managed to hit off before we were all called back in because of bad weather. By this time, some of the greens were under water. After an hour’s delay, the team was sent back out and squeegees were used to clear the water off the greens.
Thanks to the wonderful caddies who kept our girls focused as they played in the worst conditions for most of the morning on an unknown course.
After a hard fought and very close battle, once again coming down to the last putt on the 18th, Lynwood came away with the win, 3/2.
Congratulations to the team of; Sally Waddington (C), Megan Kennedy, Les Dickinson, Shaun Bennett, Robyn Smith and Kathy Jelbart (who caddied for Shaun for the semis). You all played great golf throughout the season and continued to do so for the semi-final. To the caddies who gave up their Sundays; Gretel Sutton, Mandy Henry, Jenny Haigh, Fi McDermott, Helen Shao and Robyn Jackson, thank you!
And finally, to the devoted group of spectators, some of whom went home with blue lips from the cold on Sunday, your support was amazing.
