Woolooware Ladies Launch 2026 Season in Style
Perfect golfing conditions greeted the Woolooware Ladies 2026 Grade Team and their caddies as they opened their season at Cumberland Golf Course. Despite sections of the course undergoing construction, the fairways and greens were presented in excellent condition, and the long par 3s proved both exciting and challenging.
First on the tee was the ever-reliable Barb Foy, who set the tone early with a confident 2 & 1 victory. Nothing beats experience and Barb delivered with consistency and a sharp short game.
Moira Frazer faced a tough contest, turning one down after nine. Refusing to yield, she produced some outstanding chipping to stay in touch. The decisive moment came on the 17th: all square and with galleries gathered, Moira calmly holed a long uphill putt to go one up, then closed out the match on the 18th to win 2 up.
Field Captain and newcomer Jen Jones endured a shaky start, dropping the first two holes. Undeterred, she reached for her new 7-wood on the par-3 third and struck a near hole-in-one — a shot that shifted momentum immediately. From there she played composed, consistent golf, sealing a dominant 4 & 3 victory on the 15th.
Dinah Moran, described by her opponent as “a beautiful striker of the ball,” was steady all day. With laser-like approach shots and drives finding the centre of the fairway, she controlled her match and secured a convincing 4 & 3 win on the 15th.
Our number one player, Deb Timmins, had her hands full in a high-quality contest. An unfortunate bounce on the first resulted in a lost ball and early setback, but Deb responded with determination. Two down with two to play, she produced a remarkable shot into the 17th to win the hole and keep hopes alive. Despite her fightback, her opponent held firm on the 18th, and Deb went down 2 down.
The team secured a commanding 4–1 victory to open the season — a fantastic start. They now head to Penrith Golf Club next week to face a strong Elanora Golf Club side in what promises to be another competitive encounter #wooloowaregolf #wp
