Women\u2019s Captain of The Brisbane Golf Club, Helen Caris, has jumped on the front foot prior to the start of the 2021 Brisbane District Ladies Golf Association Pennant season with a highly-optimistic summation of the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur women\u2019s team this year is awesome,\u201d Helen trumpeted on the eve of Friday\u2019s tee off to the new season.<\/p>\n
\u201cFollowing the abandonment of last year\u2019s Pennant competition because of Covid, we have received terrific support from our members and as a result each of our five teams this year are really strong. Obviously, it is always difficult to judge the strength of our opposition, but I believe Brisbane will be very competitive across all divisions.\u201d<\/p>\n
