	HORTON PARK MOTHER/DAUGHTER FOURBALL CHALLENGE The Mother/Daughter Fourball Challenge is on again at Horton Park on Sunday 14^th November 2010. This is a 4BBB Stableford event open to all Mother/Daughter or Grandmother/Granddaughter pairings who hold a current Golf Australia handicap. Look for entry forms at your clubs or on Horton Park web site www.hortonparkgolfclub.com in the next few weeks. Past players will be emailed or posted entries in September. This has proved to be a very popular event over the past 4 years and we are looking for mother/daughter combinations who have not entered before. Also included in the event are Grandmother/Granddaughter pairings. We know that sometimes the golfing bug skips a generation and that many grandmothers are out there encouraging their granddaughters to play golf. This is a wonderful opportunity for Mother/daughter “get togethers” with the added bonus of a game of golf on our great course at Maroochydore. We look forward to welcoming you on Sunday 14^th November. Enquiries can be directed to Lyndal Krupa at lyndalkrupa@bigpond.com acting on behalf of Captain Debbie Macaulay. PUT THE DATE IN YOUR DIARY!

Wide Bay Closed Championships 2010 were held at Bribie Island and Pacific Harbour Golf Clubs in August. Congratulations to the green staff for the fabulous presentation of both courses and although it was very windy on Monday some great scores were returned. Thank you to the committees of both Clubs and the ladies who volunteered to assist with the field and the scoring etc. Tuesday was a much better day with only light winds and the scores were indicative of this. Tiffany-Claire Lewis (Gympie) is our District Champion for 2010 with Cheryl Loimantra (Bribie Island) - B Grade Champion and Barbara Best (Pacific Harbour) - C Grade Champion. Foursomes Champions are Lauren Mason (Horton Park) & Dorothy Retschlag (Caboolture). Congratulations are in order for these ladies as well as all the other winners that are listed in the results attached. Photos will be available in the next few days here as well. We hope that you all enjoyed your time at Bribie Island and will return next year for the Championship that will be held at Bundaberg/Bargara. ( results )

Junior Jug is over for another year. The 7 districts competed this year at Mossman Golf Club in Far North Queensland. The event was hotly contested and Central Queensland won by 1.5 points from Gold Coast. Our players were Lauren Mason from Horton Park, Hollie Sinclair from Beerwah and Kate Law from Maryborough. Hollie and Kate had not represented before but approached every game with enthusiasm and represented their District well, as did Lauren.

RESULTS OF WBBDWGA PRESIDENT’S CUP -HELD ON 1 DECEMBER 2009

AT CALOUNDRA GOLF CLUB

A field of 140 players contested the President’s Cup at Caloundra Golf Club in warm sunny conditions. The scores were excellent and reflected the quality of the players in the field. The complete results are shown in the following table. The players enjoyed their day, and responded favourably to the late date of the event. As one player said to me, “Everything important is finished now, and we are looking for something to end the season!”

Due to the warmer weather, it was decided to start the field earlier than advertised. All players were early for their tee times and for the most part, were able to hit off on time. Wally the Womble made his presence felt on the nearest-the-pin markers, keeping an eye on those doing the measuring!

Congratulations to the winners on the day and thank you to everyone who participated in the event.

In the absence of a Junior Co-ordinator for our District, this event was run jointly by Delegates, Assunta Easton and Judith Keill. The Sarah Jane Kenyon Challenge was held on Sunday 29^th November 2009 at the Caloundra Golf Club. This Four Ball Match Play event between Junior Girls from Brisbane and District and Wide Bay & Burnett District took place in very hot, dry and windy conditions. Juniors from both Districts played their matches in the true spirit of the game and the Wide Bay Burnett Girls were the winners for 2009. The results are set out hereunder.

We congratulate our team on their fine performance. Our team came from all parts of the District, including Kingaroy, Beerwah, Kilcoy, Maryborough, Peregian Springs, Woodford and Horton Park.

Thank you to the parents from both Districts who caddied and/or gave support to their children by giving up their Sunday to watch their daughters play. This event gives the girl’s valuable match play experience and an opportunity to play as a team with other junior girls. ( results here )
