THE TOUR
We enjoyed the company of senior players from nearly every state in the country on the recent tour to Western Australia. Unfortunately, the weather was very unseasonal and it is the general contention that the seasons for Perth have moved back about two months. So the golf was tougher than expected on courses that would not have been considered easy in fine weather anyway.
Our day at The Links at Kennedy Bay had to be cancelled due to high wind and driving rain reducing the tour to the best 5 stableford scores from the 7 rounds played.
Jan Doyle (Hcp 35) from Concord Golf Club played incredible golf for the first three rounds with stableford scores of 36, 40 and 36. Jan’s handicap was reduced to 33 after her second round score of 40 points at SecretHarbour, but that didn’t stop Jan from winning by a clear 14 points from her nearest rival Brigitte Schmelzle (Hcp 33) from The Heritage Golf Club.
In the Mens side of the competition Allen Wilson (Hcp 15) from NSW Golf Club dominated by winning outright 4 out of the 7 rounds played. Highlight of his rounds were the 31 points at The Cut Golf Club in conditions which can only be described as horrendous. Gale force winds accompanied with squalls made scoring very difficult. The last two rounds at Lake Karrinyup and Joondalup (probably the most difficult of the courses we played) of 38 and 36 points respectively were first class and prevented George Hogan from The Lakes Golf Club from catching him.
Congratulations to Jan Doyle and Allen Wilson !
