2012 Ladies Match Play Champions crowned!

It was a battle from the start for our worth competitors of this years Ladies Team Match Play Championship.  We had Karen Finegold and Lois Lee on one side who advanced to the finals by overcoming some excellent players like Stokes & Chalas in the first round then going to 20 holes against Little and Butcher to get into the finals.  On the other side we had Dot Kennihan & Becky Deaton who dispatched Points & Lipomi in round one then tackled the always tough Hyland and Tate to reach the finals on their side of the bracket.

Today's Match started out with excellent tee shots from all competitors but Becky Deaton's par on the first drew first blood to see Kennihan & Deaton going up one after the first.  Karen Finegold fired right back with a par on the difficult 2nd hole to even the match.  Then it was Dot's turn to contribute with winning two holes in a row for her squad with bogey's on the difficult 3rd and 4th holes.  Becky helped out on the 5th hole with a nice net par to take the third hole in a row and put her team up 3 after 5 holes.  With a bit of back and forth for the remaining holes on the front nine we had team Kenihan & Deaton up 2 after the first 9 holes.  After halving the tenth hole team Finegold & Lee

brought the match back to even with victories on 11 & 12.  That is where it became a dead heat while the two opponents halved the next 4 holes.  Lois Lee came up big on the 17th with a nice par net birdie to take a one up lead into the 18th hole of this exciting match.  With a bogey on the last hole that was good enough to tie team Kennihan & Deaton and earn the Championship for Karen Finegold & Lois Lee.  Great work ladies.  I would like to congradulate both teams on there excellent play!
