Teams from across Victoria came together on Thursday, May 2, to compete for the annual Maie O’Shea Bowl.

The tournament, which is sponsored by the Ensign, is a highlight on the calendar and editor Simon Ruppert was on hand to present the trophy.

Maia O’Shea is the former editor of the Ensign and a legend in women’s golf in Australia.

She was the original sponsor of the event and purchased the impressive trophy, which is still up for grabs each year.

Good game: There was also individual prizes on offer which went to the winners of A, B, C and D-grades competitions. Pictured are Jenni O'Brien (A), Roslyn Black (B), Di McLaughlin (C) and Margaret Monks (D). Photo: Brenden Paddock Photo by Brenden Paddock
