Hawks Nest Ladies Golf

LAST Saturday saw an excellent field of 35 ladies tee off in an 18 hole Stableford event. Local player Sharon Barwick was joined by her sister and friends from Merewether GC, and Sharon certainly showed them how it’s done at Hawks Nest, coming home at the top of a very crowded leaderboard with a fantastic 40 points. She also claimed the Nearest the Pin on the 5th with a great 2nd shot onto the green – well played! Other visitors today came from Club Taree, Toukley GC and The Vintage to enjoy our beautiful course in very pleasant conditions.

They were joined by some of our local players for 2 days of friendly golf, hospitality and entertainment at Hawks Nest, where the focus was on fun.

Monday’s 4 Person Ambrose was won by the girls from Tanilba Bay, followed by Woolooware and Easts Leisure. Tuesday’s Stableford was a clean sweep for the girls from Belmont, with Laurel Tworek, Gail Delaforce and Gillian Mowat claiming the honours. Well played, ladies!
