The Trentham team of Mary Campbell, Shirley Shelton and Eileen Dutton competed in the State Final of the Peugeot Classic on Thursday 4th December at Kingswood Golf Club. There were only 40 teams representing the state. To make it to the state final was a great achievement. Trentham's tee time was 10.00am and they left Woodend at 7.30am confident that they would arrive in plenty of time to have coffee. This was the day a truck broke down on the freeway and traffic was banked up. They took a detour through the city and arrived with 15 minutes to spare. Despite all this, Trentham came second with a score of 82 points. They were beaten by The Dunes with 84 points. Shirley played really well and Mary & Eileen came to the fore when needed. They received a trophy to display in the clubhouse and individual prizes. This was a great experience and the Trentham club will certainly be entering again next year.

Women's Golf Victoria Business Women's Championships.
On the weekend of May 3rd & 4th, a field of 55 ladies played in the WGV Business Women's Championships at Trentham Golf Club. This event is open to ladies who work a minimun of 20 hours a week. The ladies who participated were from both city and country clubs. The weather gods were on their best behaviour and both days were fine but cool.

The Business Women's Champion for 2008 was Katerina Epae (7) from Altona Lakes with a scratch score of 159. This was a close contest with the runner up Jackie Baker (7) from Kew with a score of 160.

The overall nett winner was Sue Leitinger (19) from the Women's Golf Network with a score of 139.

All the ladies thoroughly enjoyed playing at Trentham Golf Course with many glowing comments about the course. The greens were even being favourably compared to the sand belt courses as being on a par with them or even better. What a feather in the cap for Trentham Golf Club.

Winner of the Business Women's Championship: Katerina Epea from Altona Lakes

Three Gisborne ladies have recently scored eagles. Lyn Wells eagled the par 4 fourth hole at Trentham during their Tournament. On 13th February Jenny Day eagled the par 5 10th hole at Gisborne and then on 27th February Marg Crump eagled the par 4 18th hole also at Gisborne. It was the day of the Gisborne ladies AGM when play was a bit later than usual so Marg must have been in a hurry for lunch!
