The Wellsford Golf Club hosted top teams from all over Northland last month for the 2020 Women’s Champion of Champions tournament, concurrently held with the Iris Farrel Rosebowl.
Wellsford’s Jackie Ingham, Alayna Cox and Heather Thomas did the club proud, winning the Rosebowl, which is a stableford gross competition.
“If a player strokes more than one above par, they have to pick up their ball and move to the next green without points, so it is a highly competitive standard of play,” women’s president Marie Rambaud says.
Team member Alayna Cox plays with a handicap of three and is a member of the Northland regional representative team.
The Wellsford women’s team won with 117 points, beating Ngunguru on 108 and Whangaroa on 105.
Meanwhile, the Champion of Champions event also produced some excellent golf.
The silver tier winner, Samantha Dangen, impressed crowds by achieving par on the first nine holes for a front nine score of 35 gross.
Wellsford’s Heather Thomas was runner-up in the bronze tier, with a total score of 95 gross.
There were 52 of Northland’s top women golfers at the competition.
