The lovely Walton Golf Club was the scene of this years Women's 18-Hole Champion of Champions event held on Sunday, 13th  November.  The club had some delicous morning tea laid out for the ladies and of course coffee and tea which is always most appreciated by those participating.  The conditions were favourable with light winds and partly cloudy skies.  The morning kicked off right on time with the ladies starting their morning round just after 8:30am.  The field moved around nicely with not too many hold ups.  Lunch was a quick affair to get back out for the PM round.  The scores were close so there was some pressure to play smart golf to beat back the competition closing in! As the scores starting coming in it was tense to see who would win in each division.  In the end, Silver Gross was won by Robyn Pellow (Ngaruawahia) with scores of 79,76 for a 155 total over Michelle Archer (Waikare) who finished with a total 156 to fall 1 shot short.  The Silver NETT win went to Pam Wright from Matamata with Julie Gee from Tieke Golf Estate taking the NETT Runner Up spot.  Our Bronze 1 Gross Winner from Ngaruawahia, Marie Nicols and taking out the Bronze 1 Nett spot was Debbie Carney from Tahuna.  The Bronze Runner Up division Gross win went to Pauline Chisholm from Te Awamutu. 

Our Rosebowl Teams event had 13 teams of 3 playing for the title.  The teams are made up of a Silver, Bronze 1 and a Bronze Runner Up.  This year the Ngaruawahia Team were just too good to beat.  Congratulations to Nicky Parker, Robyn Pellow and Marie Nichols.  The scores from this will be sent off to NZ Golf to see where they rank against rest of the country!  

Full results from the day can be found HERE.  Congratulations to all of you that participated and it was good to see you all after our 1 year Covid break in 2021.  

We thank Walton Golf Club for hosting our event, Mary Thomas and Kate Hillerton for your hard work in getting ready for this big event and all those ladies that came out to help, to support and to cheer the participants on!
