Veterans' Championship

2011 Results

Final

That good putting is essential to win matches is an understatement! Putting can definitely make you or break you! Heather Harley’s victory was partly achieved by sinking a great putt on the 18th hole to snatch the trophy from Judy Kruger. Judy was up for most of the match but a sudden change towards the last few holes allowed Heather to get back into  the match and subsequently win the championship 2 up. Congratulations to Heather, a proud member of Kooringal Golf Club ! This was, however, an excellent effort from these two fantastic competitors and supporters of Golf Victoria tournaments. Thank you to Ballarat Golf Club, its members and staff and all the volunteers for making this championship so successful!

H. Harley def. J. Kruger 2 up

Quater Finals and Semifinals

As much as match play can be unpredictable, the result from today’s matches was what one would expect with the top 2 qualifiers fighting their way through to the final. Good weather conditions made the day more enjoyable for all the players, volunteerswho refereed the matches and spectators. Heather Harley from Kooringal GC played consistently well, winning in the morning by a narrow margin over Vera Lund, however, her game was too strong against Marg Paton giving her a comfortable victory in the afternoon. Judy Kruger's games were also interesting but her afternoon match against Gai Skinner was a nail- biter and could've gone either way. Well done to all qualifiers for playing their matches in great spirit and many thanks to the volunteers for donating their time to support this championship.
