Unlike certain parts of the Eastern States, we were treated to a very warm weekend.
Remember to keep an eye on the Calendar as the GC season is now in full swing.
Croquetwest GC State Open Doubles
First played in 1996, this was the 20th running of the GC Open Doubles.
L Cullum and H Smith were the inaugural winners with the pairings of Martin Clarke and Peter Brown, along with Brett and Janine McHardy being the most successful having won it three times each. Interestingly, Marty won it three times in succession with Peter between from 2013-2015 and then followed it with another win 2016 but with a different partner.
With strong nominations, the event was held over two venues; Forrest Park and Nedlands.
It was terrific to see so many clubs represented, especially from our newer clubs in Hyden and Drakesbrook. It was also amazing to see so many entries from players who were keen to learn on the job after only playing for a short period of time. Cindy and Yolanda (Mandurah), Keith (Forrest Park), Anthony (Dunsborough), Wayne (Hyden) and Kirsten (Drakesbrook).
- Winners: Robyn Dart (Busselton) & Gary Phipps (Moorabinda)
- Runners Up: Jenifer Rechter (Como) & Chris McWhirter (Forrest Park

Many thanks to John for organising, the hard working members of both Nedlands and Forrest Park and to the spectators who created a great atmosphere.
