Hawks Nest Ladies Golf

THE final game in the 2025 4 Ball Best Ball (4BBB) Matchplay took place last Friday, with 2 teams battling it out for the trophy. Despite being 4 up at one stage, the eventual winners were taken to 19 holes before they clinched the win after some determined play. Congratulations to this year’s champions Robyn Keegan and Sue Brownrigg, and runners up Dawn Wiggins and Sue Campton. Well played, ladies!

Also in the winner’s circle last week was Hawks Nest player, Robyn Wade. Robyn took out the NSW VGA Trophy at the vets week of golf event in Maclean, and was very excited about winning her first ever golf tournament. While she found the course challenging, and the greens hard to read, Robyn played steadily over 2 days (29/38) for the win. Congratulations Robyn!

Saturday’s game was played for the Monthly Medal, as well as being the District Medal Round. Our local ladies were joined by visitors Jennifer Davidson and Donna Andrews from Toukley GC, and the scores were close with only 3 shots separating the top 10 ladies in a small but competitive field. However it was in-form local player, Dawn Wiggins, who was the clear winner today 2 shots ahead of the pack.

Despite the threat of rain, 25 ladies teed off in Tuesday’s Stableford round, with most players thankfully back in the clubhouse before the deluge started. The course was quite wet underfoot already, so the downpour created some new water hazards, particularly on the greens. There were chip ins today from Sue Kovacs on the 3rd from 10 metres out; Karen Serhan (8th);Maxine Mitchell (8th), and Liz Ross (4th). Also, welcome back to Deb Matheson, after a holiday which included golfing her way across the Nullabor!
