The first two days were a bit on the cool side but that didn't deter the Ladies but sadly on Thursday it was a complete wash-out causing the cancellation of the Foursomes event.
The course was in beautiful condition which is a credit to the Cowra Golf Club and its organisers.
Despite the appearance of an easy track it proved the total opposite and presented some challenges to many of the ladies, though as in any tournament there were those who relished the challenge and resulted in returning some good scores.
There were 36 hole and 18 hole events played and the winners were spread right across the field.
The WDLGA Open Jubilee Bowl was won by Jo Hunter from Duntryleague with a two day scratch score of 168.
Runner up was another Duntryleague lady Virginia Conran with a score of 176.

Due to many outside influences over the previous year the Champion of Champions final was not played but scores were taken from the Tuesday's individual results and the Champion of Champion for 2021 is Katrina Ferris of Bathurst. The Sand Green Champion of Champions is Virginia Drogemuller.
A huge thanks you goes out to the Cowra Ladies who went over and above with their organisation and hospitality of the Tournament.
