Victorian Women's Spring Tournament

Entries Open for the Victorian Women’s Spring Tournament

Scrollable

Golf Australia runs two Tournaments per year across regional Victoria in Autumn and Spring. The events are the most popular on the annual Tournament Calendar attracting fields of between 180 – 350 players.
Players at both Country Tournaments compete to win the Ruby McKenzie Trophy, named in the honour of one of Victoria’s greatest country golfers and former VLGU, Australian Golf Council member and life member of Woodend GC until her death in 1978. The ex-Women’s Golf Victoria office in Elsternwick was purchased through a bequest left by Ruby McKenzie for the VLGU, now Golf Australia.
The Best 36 Hole Nett trophy is named after Vi Teesdale, a former Captain and President of Huntingdale Golf Club. Her expert knowledge of the rules of golf was the reason this trophy is named in her honour.

“Holding the position as CEO at the club the past 14 years has been life changing for me and my family and has been an absolute privilege to be given the opportunity to be part of the significant changes and growth at the club for over a decade”. I thank all of the friendly members and committees, all of the amazing Board team over the years, and the fantastic staff for their support over my 14 years” said Michael Smairl.

Back to Back Ross Trophy Winners

Congratulations to Leigh & Tom on their victory in this years Ross Trophy.
After qualifying in 3rd position, they managed to overcome Deano Bubeck & Dean Armstrong in the semi finals 1up, then went on to win the final 5/4. Well done to Dennis Joyce & John Young for also making the final. Unfortunately John was forced to work on the day so Dennsi had to go it alone.

Unstoppable!!

Well done to our Ladies Division 1 team who have won an amazing 5th Pennant in a row!
Heading into the final at Morwell GC against a strong Trafalgar team, the ladies were never headed and won 5-0. In the words of the late Richie Benaud – “Marvellous effort that!”
Our Division 2 girls came up against a Traralgon team who were keen to reverse the scoreline from the week before and did so 3 1/2 – 1 1/2. Still a great effort ladies


Hands up if your a winner! Pictured are Deb Corstorphin, Janine Williams, Kerri Ahearn, Joy Marriott, Jo De Jong & Kylie Golding		Our Division 2 Runners Up – Kaye Rollinson, Simone Herbel, Sandy Heenan, Barb Davidson, Pam Majak & Belinda Best
