Ayr Golfers Claim Country Week Title and Take on Testing Coastal Conditions in

Eight Ayr Golf Club women have returned from Yeppoon after competing in the 2026 Queensland Women’s Country Week Championships, describing the event as a mix of challenging golf, strong camaraderie, and memorable coastal conditions.

‍

The group took on both the Yeppoon and Rockhampton courses over several days of play, contesting practice rounds, foursomes and singles formats in what players described as “character-building” conditions.

Despite difficult scoring conditions, Ayr’s Kerry Heuir and Sandra Wight claimed victory in the Division 2 Foursomes, posting a winning gross score of 95. The result marked a standout performance for the pair against a strong field from across Queensland.

There was also success for former Ayr member Amanda Gees, who partnered with Kate Law to win the Division 1 Foursomes with a gross score of 89.

Beyond the competition, players highlighted the social and community side of the tournament, which brought together women golfers from across the state. The group enjoyed shared meals, a gala dinner, and time together off the course, alongside coastal views, sunsets and changing weather conditions including rainbows during the week.

Ayr participants also acknowledged the support of Kerry, Heather and Sonya, who provided transport throughout the event, as well as organisers Aaron and Ryan from Golf Australia for managing the competition across both venues.

“As always, Country Week is about more than just the golf. It’s a wonderful opportunity to catch up with women from all over the state, swap stories, and enjoy the camaraderie that makes these events so special,” a club spokesperson said.

‍

The Ayr team has since returned to local competition following the conclusion of the championships.
