Breakers Ladies Golf Club Wamberal

Breakers Country Club saw a sea of coloured team golf shirts as all the District Clubs came together to celebrate the 2016 Pennants series. All clubs in the district were represented with at least one team, with most having entered two teams into the inaugural year of the new format. President of the Central Coast Women's Golf Assn, Anne Glance, welcomed everyone on behalf of the district. After morning tea District Captain, Jenny Chapman, spoke about the new format and provided us with many statistics which put to bed most negatives voiced prior to the new format being introduced. Amazing Jenny and obviously the result of much work done over the course of the competition. Our congratulations must go to Shelly Beach who, narrowly, won both the Wattle and Banksia divisions! Gosford and Kooindah coming a very close second. Shelly Beach also won the Margin Shield which goes to the Club who wins both divisions. It proved to be a great Pennants season and our gratitude must go to ...

Fancy having to write a blog for a day like today but, you guessed it, 20 brave? Ladies took to the course in spite of the wind and rain.  The course, I am told, was playable with the sudden puddles requiring brief stops. Some of the more sensible ladies called it quits after 9 holes but the game did proceed with enough ladies playing to make it an official comp day. Results for these brave ladies are as follows: Winner.    Jan Hoban (32) with 79 nett;  2nd  was Aiki Harrigan (17) with 80 nett; 3rd.          Jan Portelli (33) with 82 nett and. 4th was Jenny Chapman (17) with 84 nett on a c/back Gross Winner across the field was Aiki Harrigan (17) with 97 gross Putting with the lowest no of putts went to Jan Portelli with 31 putts Nearest the Pin: Suzanne Connor was our only contender on the 2/11th News items .... Congratulations to Ronalda Arnott for winning the Divisiin 2 Knock Out last Monday against Charmaine Armbruster. Co...

We have been so thoroughly spoilt by our endless Summer that everyone is really feeling the extra cold weather, and today was no exception. Our playing conditions were, as always, excellent with the faster greens testing us. Some people excelled in the conditions, some did not as was seen by the wide ranging scores.  Great scores by Helen Ingle (40), Denise Newman (38) and Monica Haines (38) - great round ladies! Division 1.  Winner.   Moya Allen (27) with 35 points                     2nd.         Jenny Chapman (18) with 33 points Division 2.  Winner.   Monica Haines (29) with 38 points                      2nd.        Gina Mesiti (32) with 35 points Division 3.  Winner.   Helen Ingle (38) with 40 points                      2nd.     ...

What a day! Frrrrrrreeeeezing and windy ....  Not the most pleasant day for lil ole ladies trying to play golf! Forget about looking 'spithy' on such a day, jackets, scarves and beanies were the dress code of the day. A cart was seen flying down the fairways with its occupants wrapped in a blanket. Blogger has it from a very reliable source that it is indeed possible to putt with a blanket wrapped around you! On such a day the scores were just a tad lower than normal. There was one with 38 followed by a 34. Balls went down to 24! Doesn't that makes those of you with scores below 20 feel much better (including me!). The cold didn't affect Judi Eaton with 31 (I hope this is correct!) who was the best of the Breakers girls. Judi came 5th out of a field of 63 in the 60+ age Division. Susan Muna got Nearest the Pin on the 13th and Nell Spargo and Suzanne Connor received balls! Well played girls in trying conditions. Thank you CCWGA for providing opportunities when we...

How lucky to be blessed with another beautiful day for golf, a little bit cool, a little bit of wind but hey, no rain, sleet or snow! The ball is not running quite so far but it did not stop some ladies obtaining some very nice scores. Congratulations to everyone - there were lots of scores above 30 which is great. Welcome to Vicky Duesbury who, not only became a member today, but won Division 2 and also won the Aggregate prize with Holly, on this her first appearance in our comp.  What an introduction to our club! We look forward to having you as part of Breakers.  Lovely to see Yvonne Brooker take out the Division 3 prize. Results were as follows: Division 1:  Winner.  Aiki Harrigan (17) with 37 points                      2nd.       Sally Hopkins (11) with 36 points                      3rd.        Holly Akers (6) wit...

It was good to see a good field of 52 starters in today's competition.  It was so nice to see Lynne Cattaway back after a long period off with a badly injured hand. What did we report last week when we talked about Min Corner's consistent playing? Must  have had a premonition that she would score extra well this week with a +2 taking out the Division 2 trophy. Well done Min! Di Rudd scored the best score of the day with a +3 in Division 3.  Great game Di! Di together with Di Jackson are two more ladies to keep an eye on as their handicaps start to come down. Unfortunately Di Jackson has called a temporary halt to her progress as she has knee surgery next Thursday which will put her out for a few months. Good luck Di we all wish you a speedy recovery. Results were as follows: Division 1.  Winner.  Holly Akers (7) with +1                      2nd.       Mel Sheekey (16) with all square ...

Wow! How good is our course! It was surprising to us all to see how it had dried out so quickly after the dreadful weather of last week. Our thanks go to Wayne and his great crew of workers for clearing all the debris and making it so pleasant for us to play on. Fifty five ladies joined in today's comp. Scores, for most of us, were generally lower with the exception of a magnificent score of 40 for Susan Muna. Beautifully played Susan. Gina Mesiti played well also with 38 points. It's interesting how the majority of us tend to have our highs and lows with our golf but not our Min Corner! Min seems to consistently score 30+! Hope this means we will all be scoring this well when we are in our 80's! You are an inspiration Min.  Today's results are Division 1.  Winner.  Viv Ball (24) with 34 points on a count back from                     2nd.        Holly Akers (7) also with 34 points     ...
