Helen Pascoe (Buninyong) and Noelle Hartnett (Rossdale) have taken out the top honours in the third edition of the Victorian Women’s Senior Order of Merit.

The Men’s Senior Order of Merit began back in 2006 and has developed into a full calendar of events specific to male golfers aged 55 and over. In 2015, the inclusion of a women’s section at a selection of events was trialed and following the successful uptake of participants, a Victorian Women’s Senior Order of Merit was introduced in 2016. In 2018, the senior women’s calendar included 27 events throughout the year and saw 238 unique competitors.

The Victorian Senior Women’s Scratch Trophy is awarded to the player that accrues the highest scratch stableford average through the course of the year. Helen Pascoe (Buninyong) dominated throughout the year, claiming 10 individual victories and finishing on a scratch average of 33.75 points. The next best was Kerrin Biddle of Queens Park on 26.88 points with Heather Harley of Kooringal in third on 25.25 points.

Noelle Hartnett had a fantastic season to claim the best stableford average through the year. Finishing with an outstanding average of 37.00, Hartnett was a runaway winner. Helen Pascoe finished runner-up in the Stableford rankings with an average of 34.88 points and last year's winner Kerry Scales (Port Fairy) was third with 34.38 points.

Congratulations to all the winners and players for their continued support of the Victorian Senior Golf Program. The 2019 schedule is now available by clicking here
