I would like to introduce myself as Keperra Ladies President for 2026. I have been a member of KCGC for about 20 years and have been a past Ladies Vice Captain and Captain.
I am passionate about Ladies golf in terms of increasing the number of lady members and encouraging new members to play in the daily competitions that are on offer. We have had approximately 40 new ladies join the club within the last year, and I’m hoping that we will grow our midweek and weekend numbers for competition play this year.
2026 has thankfully started with great weather compared to last year.
Our Opening Day on Tuesday 27th January saw 67 players embracing an Olympics theme playing a 9 holes 4BBB Stableford. The winners were Kate Outridge and Sandra Backstrom with 27 points from Lesleigh Reed and Therese Campbell on 26 points. The effort that was put towards the outfits was sensational and yes there was a ‘team Raygun’!
Saturday 31st January was our first Monthly Medal. Big congratulations to Melissa Robertson with Nett 69. She was closely followed by Helen Blanchfield and Jemma Leonard on nett 70.
Our first Honour board event will be the Captain’s 4BBB stroke on Tuesday 17th February which will be the qualifier for matchplay (For more information on the rules/format – please click here). Last year’s winners Kathy Madden and Jackie Dowling will be hoping for a repeat win so I suggest we all start practising now…or book in for a lesson with Chris, Virginia and Jake to fine tune your stroke!
Happy golfing and looking forward to the opening of holes 7 and 8 and the clubhouse.
