 To complete a busy golf week the Shield day was played at Canungra on Tuesday 29th,  in perfect winter sunshine.   However, scores for the ladies were not as perfect as the weather, thus Canungra was the winning team for the day.  The final shield round will be played at Tamborine on 14th October.

 

Club championship rounds will be played over the next three weeks so best wishes to all of you in your endeavour to have your name engraved on that prestigious golf trophy.        BAA

For visitors and locals alike, it was a great day.  Visitors tell us they always look forward to this yearly event. Locals can rightly feel pride in the tradition of fun, warmth and camaraderie that makes Tamborine Mountain's Ladies Golf so special.

Players from as far as Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Hinterland and beyond enjoyed an interesting day on the mountain.  It  started a bit wet, then the sun came out with some intermittent showers and one big ‘pour’and some fog, but evolved to a glorious pre-wintery day.

Our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Don and Mrs Sandy Harvey of Tamborine Mtn Dental Surgery who generously donated the winners’ prizes and to Andy Koureas Pro Shop, TMGC for donating the runners-up prizes.  Our sponsors kindly attended the prize presentation.   Also, our thanks to Heritage Winery for their donations to make up the delightful hampers; to Wayne, our greenkeeper and his helpers who made us proud of the course and greens; to the private golf buggy  owners who let us use their buggies, for without them, we would certainly not have such a good turnout.  And last, but not least, a big thank you to all our ladies who donated items for the raffle & produce stalls, who made the delicious pumpkin soup and 'sweets' and for donating all their time and effort to help make this event so successful.

Tamborine Mtn Ladies Golf lost a very dear friend and ex member recently - Dorothy Johnston who passed away peacefully on 10th April. We pay tribute to a lovely, dear lady who left significant, wonderful memories of the times we had with her on the golf course. Dorothy loved her golf, played four times a week in three golf clubs and set an example walking 18 holes on Tamborine until she reached 80!

Due to the holiday season, only a small number of ladies competed in the Monthly Medal on April 3rd.  The day was gorgeous and the course was in great condition, except for the newly cored greens which were unpredictable and the cause of frustration and some humiliation.

Congratulations to Katy Hewitt who was runner up last Saturday with 43 stableford points and as a result sees another considerable handicap drop.
