Victorian Women’s Golf Update

Posted on: 9 January


The 2019 Women’s Committee Handbook is now available from https://www.golf.org.au/victorian-event-resources. It contains useful information on the 2018 events winners, the 2019 events schedule and participation programs.

Royal Women’s Hospital 4BBB, Silver Spoon, and Doris Chambers Cup

Information (including conditions of play) for the above women’s club qualifying events can be found at https://www.golf.org.au/victorian-open-events. Entries and payments for these events in 2019 will be online via the GolfBox system. The link to the online system for each event can be found at the page above. The Victorian events team will be happy to assist should there be any queries regarding this process.

We encourage clubs to display the RWH 4BBB poster at the club – download here.

Mona MacLeod Brooch

Given the large number of women’s participation events within the Golf Australia Victorian events calendar, it has been determined to discontinue the conduct of the Mona MacLeod Brooch. With existing events such as the Doris Chambers Cup and the Silver Spoon, and more recently the Royal Women’s Hospital 4BBB, it is felt these events better promote interaction between women of different clubs and have a more defined purpose. These events provide women with the opportunity to qualify and play in a concluding State level event, rather than simply submit scores from a club sanctioned competition. In recent years, only 20% of all Victorian clubs have participated in any case.
 
Golf Australia is also keen to explore and promote different formats of the game such as the very successful Play 9 competition. We thank all of those clubs who have supported the Mona MacLeod Brooch over recent years, and look forward to engaging women in the significant number of other Victorian participation events.
