WABLGA Pennant Report 2023

The WABLGA Pennant Season for 2023 concluded with the Pennant Final being held between Lake Karrinyup and The Honoraries at Lake Karrinyup on Sunday, 21st May, 2023. Unfortunately, I was unable to be present for the Final due to a prior commitment, and I sincerely thank my fellow Committee and the ladies of Lake Karrinyup for making the Final such a success.  To all those supporters that came out to watch and be there for the presentation my thanks.  It was an unusual Season for all of us this year with only the top 2 teams playing the Finals round due to course availability.

I am pleased to announce Lake Karrinyup Country Club as the 2023 WABLGA Pennant Champions.  The Match score for the Final was Lake Karrinyup 4.5 – The Honoraries 0.5.  According to my spies on the day the matches were very close going thru the turn, however Lake Karrinyup players then pushed and got the win!

Thank you to everyone for your help and support throughout this pennant season. It has been a steep learning curve for me with a few hiccups along the way for which I am grateful for your understanding. The weather seemed kinder to us this year, with fewer rainy days.

A special thank you goes to all the hosting clubs and their ladies for outstanding hospitality (Pinjarra, The Vines, Mandurah, Royal Perth, Mt Lawley, and Bunbury) and Care Bags fundraising efforts in 2022.

Happy golfing for the remainder of the year.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR 2023 WABLGA PENNANT SEASON

  1. Pennant season dates through winter or alternate – look at draft fixtures for men’s and women’s pennants in Perth; consider playing very early or late in the year.  Early discussion with GolfWA regarding the tentative programming of the fixtures for the 2023 Season.
  2. The number of Clubs that will be able to field a Pennant Team for 2023 with the changes that are being implemented at Clubs relating to changes of Membership Categories.
