The season for the Club's Sunday women's pennant team kicked off last Sunday at Lonsdale Golf Club against Torquay.
In a tightly contested challenge Barwon Heads went down 3/2 to Torquay but sent a clear message to the competition that we are going to be one of the teams to watch in the coming weeks.
While three of our team members (myself included) were unfortunately unavailable for the opening round, our group of capable emergencies were at the ready to adeptly fill these gaps.
The team line up for this match was (refer photo above l to r) Carole Hinchcliffe (ably assisted by caddy, Barb Inglis), Claire Hewitt, Bronwyn Constance, Deb Fowler (Acting Captain) and Margie Blair.
Our two winning matches were convincing and quick, with Margie and Bronwyn's results of 6/5 and 8/6 respectively making for an early lunch break.
Claire Hewitt was also competitive to the bitter end, finishing on the 18th 1-down. Both Deb and Carole were likewise up for the challenge, taking their respective matches to the end of the 16th hole before succumbing to their opponents (4/2 and 3/2).
The cold and wet weather certainly added to the challenges of the day and a clear signal that pennant has now started!
Round 2 next Sunday (7th) sees us playing at Torquay against Queens Park.
Happy golfing everyone.
