Pretty in Pink
IT was all pink at Atherton Golf Club’s recent Pink Day that celebrated and encouraged women in the sport of golf.
The women golfers at the club enjoyed a fun competition to celebrate Women in Golf Month, a Golf Australia initiative designed to encourage more women and girls to play golf.
The successful event was attended by 24 women all dressed in pink as they played a team stableford competition, with a pink ball of course.
The colour scheme was further highlighted when the ladies finished the day off with a pink cake for afternoon tea.
The winning team from the event was made up of Shelley Broadley, Gail Gard and Judy Newlands, who finished on 72 points.
They were closely followed by runners-up Lorraine Doolan, Dee Jierasak and Michelle Pearsall on 70 points.
“I had never played this game before,” Ms Broadley said.
“It was great fun but very nerve-wracking when it was my turn to keep the pink ball in play.”
The Atherton Golf Club would like to encourage people who want to “have fun, improve their fitness, make new friends, and learn new skills” to contact them on 4091 1283 for more information.
