Foursomes can prove to be a challenging event, as players hit alternate balls and usually try desperately not to get their partner into too much trouble.
The championship is also over 27 holes in one day which is a tough, physical and mental test for the golfers.
All up, 40 golfers competed in the event, four less then last year.
However, competitors described the turnout for the championship event as “excellent”.
Last year’s tournament was won by Dee McCarthy and Kerry Davis, winning by six shots ahead of runners-up Denise Stapley and Denise Simpson.
Barbara Piddington and Manor Cooper were the division two champions as well, back in October, 2017.
The Bathurst Golf Club Ladies Foursome Championship was sponsored by the Governor Macquarie Motor Inn.
