On Closing Day at Royal Fremantle Golf Club on Sunday 13<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> November we acknowledged the contribution of Maureen Thomas \u2013 co-founder and Life Member of WABLGA.\u00a0 <\/span>Maureen received a standing ovation upon her arrival at lunch and was presented with beautiful bunch of flowers and a large colourful card made by Leith Elliot on which members wrote their appreciation, congratulations and best wishes for her recent 90<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> birthday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also in attendance was Pat Collins, Royal Fremantle Ladies Co-ordinator who spoke on her role which was developed to fill the gap left when a restructure of memberships meant that there was no longer a Ladies Captain at Royal Fremantle Golf Club.\u00a0 <\/span>A not unfamiliar happening at many clubs recently.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hartfield Country Club\u2019s Tui Pursell and Annie Kok were also guests of WABLGA, competing out on the course and enjoying the lovely buffet lunch afterwards in the clubhouse.\u00a0 <\/span>Hartfield had expressed an interest in re-joining WABLGA and Closing Day was an opportunity for the lady representatives to get the feel of how things were run.\u00a0 <\/span>The committee was delighted that Hartfield General Manager, Brian Close, has supported their interest with a formal application for Club affiliation in 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite fixture clashes with other golf events, forty-two ladies from Bunbury, Lake Karrinyup, Mt Lawley, Mosman Park, Pinjarra, Royal Fremantle, Royal Perth, WAGC and our Hartfield guests attended.<\/span><\/p>\n

The challenging course conditions of cored fairways and sanded greens surprisingly did produce some excellent individual scores on the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

As in many previous Closing Days, the winning club was the host club.\u00a0 <\/span>Congratulations to Royal Fremantle<\/b> Golf Club for winning the 2022 WABLGA Nora Watts Trophy,<\/b> by just 2 points from WAGC.<\/span><\/p>\n

The three ladies contributing to the combined winning total of 113 was Alison Adams (41 points), Gee Lightfoot (38 points) and Linda Silverlock (34 points).<\/span><\/p>\n

Close runner ups were the Western Australian Golf Club with a total of 111 points.\u00a0 <\/span>The WAGC players were Debra Renfrey (39 points), Leah Sackville (36 points) and Sharon Clayton (36 points).<\/span><\/p>\n

The individual best gross score was Leith Elliot (Royal Perth) with 84 and best individual stableford score was Allison Adams (Royal Fremantle) with 41 points.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nearest to Pin winners \u2013 Tui Pursell (Hartfield), Leith Elliot (Royal Perth), Sharon Clayton (WAGC) and Georgie Wynne (Lake Karrinyup).<\/span><\/p>\n
