The Regional Golf Croquet Division 2 Championship was held on May 22 at its courts in Noosa Waters, with clubs from all around the Sunshine Coast being represented.
This had to be delayed as they were originally set for that period of terrible weather during March.
It was a very successful tournament won by Sue Green from the Bribie Island Club.
Good weather, great competition, a full ruling of referees (the group decided this was the best collective noun for this group), and court conditions praised by all competitors made it a most successful event.
The Shield competition, for players with a medium handicap, also continues and the Noosa team travelled to Bribie Island on Monday 17 May.
They had a good win, beating Bribie Island 8 wins to 2. All players had two wins each, the standout being Mike Studley who won all his three games for the day.On Monday 24 May, the Plate team (high handicaps) played Coolum Club at Noosa. The result was a very close. Games were level at the end of play, and a countback showed that both teams had the same number of hoops, so a tie was declared and the points shared. Teresa Martin, Susie Locke and Lorry Ryan all had two wins each for Noosa.
The Pennant team of low handicappers played Coolum away at the Coolum courts and had a good win 8 games to two. Both John Olsen and John ark won all three of their games.
A good result, and the Pennant team is in a good position on the overall table.
