Congratulations to Karen Heading – our inaugural Ladies Champion

Karen Heading with the Silverware kindly donated by John and Robin Hay.

Karen Heading could hardly believe her good fortune on Wednesday afternoon when Vice Captain Margaret Trigger called out her name as the Maleny Golf Club’s inaugural 2016 Ladies Champion with a Gross Score over the two rounds of 193.

Karen was just a shot clear of Club Captain Robin Hay on 194 with Penny Edwards on 195 coming in third.

Clearly shocked and surprised Karen thanked her colleagues and playing partners for their friendship and encouragement on and off the course, as well as Superintendent Mick McCombe and his team for setting the course up so beautifully.

“Wow I really thought Penny was going to win it. And I really can’t believe how fast the greens were running today – unbelievable!”

The net champion was Penny Edwards on 143, with Karen the Runner Up on 151 and Toni Bishop in third place with 153.

Special thanks must go to Robin and John Hay for their generous donation of a mounted quality Open Championship “Old Claret Jug” replica as a permanent trophy which will take pride of place in the club for decades to come.

Thanks also go to our other prize sponsors including Maleny Jewellers and Simply Stylish Fashion & Lingerie.
