Enews – 21st August 2020

It’s time to say hello to Judy Davis our 6th longest serving Lady member of Rossdale.  Judy joined the club 26/8/81 and is still a very active member on and off the course, resulting in the ultimate praise of being the Lady Captain in years 2009-2011.

Judys’ favoured sports of Hockey and Squash fell by the wayside in favour of golf, as there was alot of moving around, following her banking husband. Moving around  Tasmania and  country Victoria there  was always a Golf Course nearby. When it was time to settle, a home was purchased not far from Rossdale Golf Club, a choice of Patterson River or the club closer to home were the options available.  Rossdale is so pleased she made it her club and has remained loyal for 39 years.

Judy obtained her first handicap  of 36 at the Beaufort Golf Club by the time she joined Rossdale she was playing off 23, picking up many trophies and awards on her way to a best handicap of 14. Participating in Interclub, Pennant and many Challenge Bowls there’s  not much that Judy has not engaged in to help  Rossdale earn the reputation of a welcoming and friendly Club.

You’ll find Judys’ name on many honor boards and trophies including;   

B and C champion

Winter Shield (twice)

Presidents Trophy (twice)

May May Plate

Jean McDonald Cup

Judy is also the winner of the most prestigous and coveted trophy on the ladies competition calendar being the Grandmothers Trophy!

It’s an elite group to get a hole-in-one anytime but Judy has had 4, twice on the 3rd at Rossdale also one  at Seabrook in Tasmania and also one on a guest day at Kingswood, what great stories she has to regale us with!  One of Judys’ fondest memories is of being part of the winning 1988 Pennant team, the team consisting of Jeanette Barrett, Pam Walker, Val Ogden, Heather Perkins and Jeanne Carrol.  She has caddied in Pennant for numerous ladies over the years and encourages one and all to participate in any team sport that Rossdale puts forward. While she has a great tee off stroke(4 holes-in-one!) she considers her putting stroke the most favourable.  Judy enjoys her golf and social life along with her husband, Rob who represented Rossdale as President in 1986-89.

The highlights of participating in the end of year Ladies concerts high on Judys’ list of fond memories. Well Judy if we get out of this lockdown soon and start rehearsals, you will be the first to be asked by our newly formed Entertainment Committee! Hope to see you soon Judy so the ladies of Rossdale can help you celebrate your forthcoming 40th anniversary, most definitely with a glas of wine!
