About
The Business Women's Championship is designed to give women who work full time or part time, or study at tertiary level, a chance to play in a State level Championship. This is the most prestigious event on the Business Women's calendar, as it is a recognised State Championship.
Each year the Business Women's Championship has attracted large numbers of women. With more women working full time this tournament has become a great success.
The competition has been running since 1997 with Meredith Tricks of Peninsula Country Club winning the trophy three times.
